  • Brilliant storytelling!

    I am surprised the movie has not been reviewed yet. The portrayal of London in the late 70s is so precise, it was the second Black British film directed and released in 1981. It is a total recommend for strong females and gaining an insight to the racial tension experienced at the time. The costume design was amazing too. To an extent the director's vision is quite parallel to Pressure directed by Horace Ove. But overall we see a young black woman maturing into an independent lady contrasted by the present reality and what she envisions for herself. The film effectively shows rocky situations can easily be for the better. It's worth a watch!
