Frank Berry clearly knows what he is doing. Not one frame is wasted or extraneous. The camera does not linger for longer than is necessary. Everything is just pitch perfect IMO. Simple sets and locations but the whole picture feels so full and expansive. And the support of Letitia Wright especially, and Josh O'Connor is simply phenomenal. One thing I will say, I saw this a few days out of watching Lady Chatterley's Lover with Emma Corrin and Jack O'Connell and frankly found this movie, with only a single fleeting kiss, full of pure sexual chemistry between the characters than that! And a lot is often said of endings that are unfulfilled, but again Frank Berry excels and leaving us guessing yet still not empty. I doubt Frank reads IMDB reviews, but just in case thesis for him - I reckon his next film should be the followup to this, called Conor, dealing with that's character's sexual abuse with Aisha now the minor... and maybe in the end she win her battle and gets to say. And if he's up for it, maybe the third epic instalment might be Mixed, the story of the characters navigating an interracial relationship and winning. I for now would be in for both films.
