Small Island

We here at Indie Friendlie love this kind of feature film: literate, unexpected, and powerful.

We loved the talented ensemble of world-class actors playing original, well-drawn characters with lovely contradictions, making surprising but believable choices.

The film retains its balance as it weaves in and out of characters' lives, while never short-changing any of them.

We must say that Naomi Harris consistently gives powerful performances. See her also in "The First Grader".

Historically fascinating, personal, and top shelf.
