Lovers Rock (2020) A film by Wales Bonner Trailers

The collection references John Goto’s reportage photography of the era documenting young British African-Caribbeans at Lewisham Youth Centre. The portraits tell the story of second generation black and asian youths finding love and belonging in the underground blues parties of 1970s London. They are defiantly elegant in their swagger and eclectic in expression. Hippie sensibilities. Conservatism of dress rejected. Identity performed with chest-up pride.

Reviews
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
