Small Axe: Lovers Rock (2020)
Season 1, Episode 2
7/10
For Live Music Lovers
13 December 2020
I've never really reviewed many tv productions in the past, but the Small Axe series are worthy of a movie release. The episodes are directed by Steve McQueen and they focus on the West Indian community in the late 20th century.

Lovers Rock is a story about a London House Party in the 1980's. I must admit that I loved the production, but am quite sure that it will leave some people cold. I am passionate about live music and this movie really gives you the feel for what it is like to experience music that moves your soul. You are progressively drawn in to an intense intimate feel of the dance floor. The soundtrack is amazing and if you like raggae music you are in for a treat. Whilst the music is the main focus of the movie there are underlying themes of sexism and violence being played out.

This movie probably will not appeal to everyone, but I loved it.
