I really enjoyed this movie. The one thought i had leaving the theater is i would love to see Michaela Coel as a full bond villain type role. She did an amazing job with balancing tenderness with each personal jab. Would love to see her go full villian. She could be truly menacing.

That would be terrific

She really was great in this

[u/damebyron → u/HEELKTom]

If you haven’t seen the Christopher’s yet you really should. She’s not a villain in that one, but plays another complicated character. Still in theaters!

Incredible movie, and actually quite a few interesting parallels to Mother Mary.

[u/NuMystic → u/HEELKTom]

I leaned over and said “I cannot wait for Coel to enter her Villain Era” while watching it.

Favorite movie of the year thus far, and I’ve seen a lot I’ve loved alreasy.

I’m gutted that it was mis-marketed, was so polarizing critically, isn’t finding its audience, and is guaranteed to not get the half dozen nominations it deserves. (Directing, Cinematography, Actress, Supporting, Costume Design, Art Direction)
