brilliant film where the 150 minutes documentary flew past as speedy as a Max Roach drum roll. great way to tell a story and made a cast iron case for the best of culture being embedded in progressive politics, for the wonder of black culture be it in the new world or i hues we’ll name Africa as an old world. and for Jazz Jazz Jazz. loved the blue notes record sleeve design of the text and fade in and outs. lovely film and such an important period of history, la luta continua.

What a brilliant love story and an insight into the new wave of African films that I do hope takes off and rises until nobody does not know about it.

Terrible film. Useless nostalgic dead end nonsense. KB is an ejit with lots and lots of money and awards and a boring dull personality. Awful film. And van Morrison just makes it even worse. But appropriate. If your interested in Belfast read Milkman.

Brilliantly done. The music was the star and we understood why they made it through understanding their lives and the times they lived in….it was alright, it was alright hey baby, baby, baby, rock n roll.

Fantastic film if you think about what anyone can reasonably expect from a film. It makes you think. And individuals will of course pick up on so many different clues. And indeed make things up as they go. No one is telling you as in sci-fi or dramatic plots or placeless relationships. No this film is about you the watcher and what you feel when you happen to be watching it. A very compassionate way to go about things. Oh of course the usual film components were all done well, acting, music and camera work and plots and dialogue. Tilda Swindon stayed unknownable throughtout which is like all the people you know if you examine that closely. Lovely film.

terrible film. if it is about mental breakdown then some sympathy with the main character is needed yet he is without a defining feature. yes waiting til the end might, just might, have resolved why someone made this film. you could say the street scenes at the beginning were pushing the boundaries of cinema and i would reply into trump territory of hatred and paranoia of the general public so a facist film? was this a facist film? i can’t say as i left just after a pathetic phone call to his “mom”.

ace film if a little bit too harsh on a small community in a rural setting, but good at explaining how widespread male ignorance produces cultures of endorsement of violence against women. could have been set somewhere less obvious and less remote.
