Pretty Red Dress
Set against the backdrop of South London and humming with the energy of iconic Tina Turner hits, Pretty Red Dress follows a family tested to their limit when Travis (Natey Jones), fresh out of jail, is found wearing a dress by his partner Candice (Alexandra Burke) and secretive teenage daughter Kenisha.
The family is sent spinning by this startling discovery and the truths that remain.
Thought-provoking, intimate and brave, the outstanding performances from its leading stars and Edwards’s smart direction make this a great entry in Black British cinema.
This is a terrific film. It’s original, has heft, is magnificently performed, and it will blow you away.
