    Putting too much expectation onto it was such a huge mistake. Rihanna's acting is so bad that only Childish could save this mess. She can't sing and now she proved she can't act. Lame.

    A classic case of wool being pulled over the viewer's eyes, via Childish Gambino fans. It definitely is not the second coming of some artistic Christ as the majority of user reviews will have you believe. As much as Donald Glover is good... Just because he is in something doesn't make it so. A borefest of the biggest of magnitude.

    Guava Island is a neat encapsulation of Glover’s key artistic interests, expressions that are by turn angry and hopeful, but always driven by the idea of music as an undeniable force for good. As a film it is slight, but not unsatisfying, instead existing as a thoughtful, dreamy tribute to art, love and people power.

    The result is something half-baked and probably best watched while baked, a project rich with ideas about art and consumption that remain curiously unleavened.

    Its tight runtime and straightforward message, mixed with infectious music, makes the film an enjoyable weekend-morning stream.
