The film is something of a big deal, despite its unheralded Netflix premiere. The Kitchen marks Daniel Kaluuya’s (Nope, Judas and the Black Messiah) directorial debut, alongside short film director Kibwe Tavares. Kaluuya also co-wrote the film with Gangs of London’s Joe Murtagh, cementing a vision of dystopian, near-future London alongside an unconventional tale of found family. It’s Blokamp-esque in design, but is centered on Britain’s Black diaspora. It’s a shame such a unique film can’t be seen on the biggest screen possible, but it at least deserves to be seen by as many eyes as possible.
I really wish Netflix would stop doing things “quietly”. I saw the trailer and it looks really good! I’m gonna check it out.
Same, I don’t really want to read the article, I’d rather just take it all in with this one!
Edit: Oh wait, after reading the other comments maybe it isn’t that great lol. I was kind of hoping for something like Children of Men, but it’s maybe a little more mediocre. I’ll still give it a go.
