In a dramatic atmosphere, this movie follows the life of the people of Brixton, as they suffer from gentrification and the abuse they receive by the white people, upon the arrival of, Nina Edwards, a young actress, who after being for years at Shoreditch, returns to her home, Brixton, everything changes, as she is involved in the protest and does her best to help the people. To end the conflicts, she decides to paint a piece of art that gather the people again in peace.
Although the film's approach to issues is a little on the nose at times, in Amoo, we are introduced to a distinctive and bold new voice in British cinema.
The simple title, loaded with meaning, should not disguise just how much is packed into this profound and articulate debut feature from a very promising London-based filmmaker.
The movie shrewdly lays out how a district's bohemian and diverse character is what makes it vulnerable to long-term predatory investment, pushing Brixton in the direction of white Notting Hill.
The fictional parts of the film are underdeveloped with ideas that go nowhere. It's the nonfictional parts, however, that will see audiences pay attention, and understand to the plight gentrification has on working class residents.
