Its inspired however slight storytelling makes for another great display of Glover’s many talents as an entertainer.
-
Acting has never been Rihanna’s strong suit, and when the film cuts to her, it’s impossible to ignore one of “Guava Island’s” fundamental limitations: that she really ought to be singing, rather than reduced to playing Deni’s love interest.
-
Instead of Purple Rain, the film plays more like the 1978 reggae film Rockers, preferring the loosest possible narrative to a myth-building melodrama.
-
In this light, playful effort, the offhanded breeziness is a feature, not a bug. ... It feels very much like a movie a bunch of friends thought up late one night, perhaps while sharing a blunt, as a party was winding down. This is meant as a compliment.
