Guava island has a great storyline and a theme of oppressed people fighting the oppressor. But it is very much poorly executed.

I liked the start with the animated titles and there is some nice African/Caribbean music present but it felt a bit too weak otherwise. I'd have liked to have seen more character interaction and more of a context given to things.

Its certainly an easy and light watch. I liked seeing the scenes featuring (what I assume to be) traditional African clothing, costumes and the like. Its not a bad watch but its not quite good as a full blown film - nearly but not quite. I couldn't help but feel like I'd be more intrigued if I had more of an emotional connection to the main characters, through knowing more of the background/context to what takes place. I'd say this is more a mix of a long series of music videos and perhaps an advert for the area, which was filmed in Cuba according to IMDB.

Its certainly alright but not what I'd regard as a proper full blown film as such - I doubt it'll stay on my mind for long. However, its good to see people try something new and its reasonably enjoyable, with if but a loose plot present, so if this partcularly interests you, in terms of the music and being something a bit different (plus if you have Prime Video access as its available to watch there at the moment (late July 2019) then I'd say its worth a watch, yes, just don't expect it to be a 'regular film' as such. I felt it had potential but it didn't quite get there, somehow, which is a shame.

Hermosa película, me encanta la forma de expresar el arte que tiene Donald Glover, y la interpretación de Rihanna me pareció orgánica y realista. Si bien la trama de la película no es lo suficientemente interesante o atractiva, los mensajesHermosa película, me encanta la forma de expresar el arte que tiene Donald Glover, y la interpretación de Rihanna me pareció orgánica y realista. Si bien la trama de la película no es lo suficientemente interesante o atractiva, los mensajes que entrega el film son bastante profundos y fundados en el amor al arte y la libertad. Expand
