Small Axe: Lovers Rock (2020)
Lovers Rock is a story portrayed through the music, the atmosphere and the chemistry of the people
I really enjoyed Lover's Rock and have watched it three times now. Each time it somehow brought back some treasured memory that I re-live and in someway try to reconnect to. I think it's a job well done and am not too concerned about a few minor flaws here and there. I imagine it must have been a very difficult task to capture the house party vibe and put this across on screen. The overall essence of the party is there, the atmosphere, the excitement, the dancing the food etc.
I was really impressed by the attention to detail throughout and the characterisation portrayad by such a young cast. The music selection was spot on and it seriously brought back memories. I loved how you could still hear the music playing during scenes out of the room, this made you feel like you were present.
For me, Lovers Rock is a story portrayed through the music, the atmosphere and the chemistry of the people and I'm so pleased for this credible reference to our history.
