The Kitchen

This film is set in a future London where all social housing is being eliminated. The last holdouts live in an area called The Kitchen that’s constantly being raided by police. One resident (Kano) is saving to buy a home by working in a modern funeral facility, which is where he encounters a boy (Jedaiah Bannerman). While there some futuristic elements and the housing issue is constant, the crux of this story revolves around their uneasy relationship. Co-writer and co-director Daniel Kaluuya has guided the actors to create a meaningful relationship and there are some interesting community moments. Even so, there’s not enough writing depth or directorial focus to make the story effective on an emotional level. 2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5)
