Pretty Red Dress

This is not the sort of film I would choose to see but I ended up in the cinema watching and enjoying it. The location and Jamacian culture are unfamiliar to me, an Indiginous Rustic, so it was quite an insight into different lives and I understood some of the challenges others face.

Alexandra Burke was brilliant in her acting and her performances. Natey Jones played a weak and wretched character and I had little sympathy for him-I wasn't totally convinced by his performance and wanted to slap him- maybe that is good acting. The others interacted well and were a good background to the story.

A simple story of complicated relationships but very enjoyable to watch.

I decided to see this film as it was the best of a rather bad lot on general release this week.

I have to say that I was grateful for the subtitles as I am hard of hearing and so otherwise I would not have been able to understand the dialogue.

I would have to say that I do not form part of the target audience for this film. So it was inevitable that I would become festive about an hour in,but I remained to the bitte!r in.

It was one of those films where if anything can go wrong it will do so,this there is an air of predictability and inevitability about the course of the narrative. I get rather bored at characters who constantly swear at each other.

I went into this movie with little knowledge about the premise and that only served me well. Without diving into spoilers, this movie paints a very stark picture of the complexity of human desire and nature. Alexander Burke was a pleasant surprise! Her talent remains highly underrated. This is my first introduction to Natey Jones. He is definitely one to watch! I will definitely be looking out for more things from him!

Most of the low reviews here seem fixated on the slang used in the movie. I find that akin to watching a french movie and complaining about french words!

Go in with an open mind and wait to have your mind blown away by this movie!

A beautiful, heart warming and enjoyable debut film from Dionne Edwards, with brilliant performances from the whole cast, especially Alexandra Burke, Natey Jones & Temilola Olatunbosun. Deftly explores masculinity, family dynamics and gender expression. Was particularly impressed with AB as I had not seen her act before but she really pulled it out of the bag. South London makes the perfect setting for the film and its beauty is on full display. Lots of fantastic music throughout.

Important for these stories to be told, now more than ever. Deserves to have a wide audience and lots of success...

A stretch in prison brings you back to your sweetheart, it's a year that you've been separate and apart, life's quite tough when you're a felon, when you wish you had some melons, just to pop inside a dress, with firm support. And then the chance arrives to get yourself made up, and add some padding to your wife's lacy bra cups, pop some scarlet on the lips, waltzing around to shake your hips, you look amazing in that red tasselled getup. It's not too long before you're found with your pants down, it causes consternation and a great big frown, you try to work your way around, but deep inside you're glad your found, you are relieved, released to wander around town.
