The film is something of a big deal, despite its unheralded Netflix premiere. The Kitchen marks Daniel Kaluuya’s (Nope, Judas and the Black Messiah) directorial debut, alongside short film director Kibwe Tavares. Kaluuya also co-wrote the film with Gangs of London’s Joe Murtagh, cementing a vision of dystopian, near-future London alongside an unconventional tale of found family. It’s Blokamp-esque in design, but is centered on Britain’s Black diaspora. It’s a shame such a unique film can’t be seen on the biggest screen possible, but it at least deserves to be seen by as many eyes as possible.

    Its ok. If you expect an action filled movie, its not. Its an ok story but can get kinda slow.

      I watched a few days ago and thought it sucked. Didn’t connect with any of the characters, the characters acted in incomprehensibly stupid ways, and the plot made no sense. 2/10 at best from me.

        What you saw in the trailer with the bikes is almost all of it. But its an ok movie. Good story driven entertainment nothing more nothing less .
