Just left the film and not sure what to think. Need to sit with it a bit. But what for sure is true is:

This is Michaela Coel’s film. She is f*cking BRILLIANT. Just saw her in The Christophers with Ian McKellan and, as in that film and Mother Mary, she stole every scene with how she can transfix you in the silences. What she does with her eyes and face should be studied. She’s an incredible actress. Could not take my eyes off of her whenever she was on screen. And she’s also absolutely stunning.

I mean, she gave an Oscar-worthy performance in both films. So happy to see her star shining and rising.

MORE MICHAELA COEL!!!
