What did you think of The Kitchen? Definitely a powerful message at it's core and a crossover of Top Boy/Black Mirror! Let me know your thoughts below!
Absolute crap! They could have done so much with it. A big let down. I love Kano but this was not for him.
A big letdown this film has so much potential your review is giving a lot that wasn’t giving while watching it
The movie was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 .... So many deep messages
@@SoursopBaby I agree, the plot was terrible and seemed to drag on aimlessly going nowhere. What was the agenda of the police, who was the ruling class if any. What was the have nots trying to achieve.
@@jeromemcbean4873 Such a shame for Kano, but this was really piss poor.
He'll always be Sully to me 😅His best acting is when Ashley Walters is Directing...
Like someone else said, there seemed to be an unexplained narrative between Izi and Staples. I would’ve loved for that to have been explored. Also, showing some backstory between Izi and Benji’s mother would’ve provided more depth. I still enjoyed the movie though.
Yeah I think the Staples and Izi beef would be interesting to delve into
@@BrainPilot here is my opinion I Don't Ever Want Too see Pain Films and Series Talking About Slavery Civil Rights or Hood Terrorize That is Enough I Want Too See Series and Films About Romance Comedy or Superherous Save the Hold Commmurity Without Lynching Mob And Police 👮🏿♂️👮🏼👮🏾♀️ Brutality I'm Quick Too Watch These kind of stuff Sully A.k.a Kano or Kane Robinson and Aaron From Top Boy They Working with Each other Again and I Believe Benji is son of Izi or Sully kano Kane Robinson Character of this Film The Kitchen and Actor of Film Get out Daniel Kaluuya is the Producer and Creator of This Film
I feel like there is an unexplained backstory between Izi and Staples that would have added a lot to the story 🤔
Yeah true! That look that Staples gave Izi when he returned the bike. You can definitely see it!
Back story is he killed Jamie😅 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 all bants.Nice to see the Actor who played Aaron in a different role.🎉
Izi was one of the man them for sure, Izi is doing what I know many men from road have to do and that fight harder for the original goal they had when first hitting the roads. That’s not to be in a vulnerable position.
He stop doing road.
@@invisibleScars885jaaaaaaaaaime! Yeah he didn’t go off to class he became a revolutionary
Be on look out for Stephen !
Think izi at one point was a revolutionary character himself seeing the bike and all .. staples feels like he looked up to him
Staples also sees the same in benji
Hearing Ghanaian music (highlife) was the highlight of this movie for me
And Jamaican
And Nigerian (Fela kuti) music
Kano is a great actor.
Yeah he is! Deserves to be in more
What’s amazing is Lord Kitchener is originally from Trinidad and Tobago, a famous calypsonian that’s now dead. And I believe they used his name and character for the lord Kitchener in the movie. Proud Trini here😊
I enjoyed the movie despite being frustrated at the ambiguous end. The characters had so much heart & soul. Benji stole my heart with his openness & innocence. Lord Kitchener seems to have referenced a famous calypsonian who had a lot of political messages in his music as well. However, if this is a dystopian then we are living in one because I’m pretty sure this is all happening right now.
Why couldn't they stay at Benji's mothers flat?
Omg I said this the WHOLE time. He even found him there in the end….but went back to The Kitchen 🤷🏽♀️
Probably taken by the bank or something, they definitely should have explained that much more
No electricity and water
It didn’t have any electricity, Benji was using a flashlight/his phone (maybe) at one time. plus once the govt got her death notice I’m sure they would’ve kicked them out too
I play Jase in the film, big big fan of your content mate! So surreal that you spoke about my character man! Thank you 🙏🏾
You smashed the role man, it was a real powerful film! Appreciate the fact that you enjoy the vids 👊
BRO PLS TELL ME who broke into the door
@@excisionsstepserum8336it’s very obvious
@@BrainPilotthank you very much 👌🏾
You're great in dreaming whilst black too bro, you're doing your thing
I think the movie is worth a watch, but it still annoyed me how it went along. I don't actually think anything substantial was presented throughout the whole movie, it almost like the whole runtime was just waiting for the last 20 minutes to happen. I think the characters were well thought out but really lacked the development in terms of their relationship. I also think the message of gentrification as a whole could have gone a lot futher. As someone who lives right between Aylesbury and Heygate, I think the directors could have done a better job by actually showing what happens to the people who get kicked out of housing and the effects this has on their families.
Awaiting entire movie for something to happen. It was very predictable that Izi was Benji's father...
Don’t bother it’s a flop
@@DorothyDandridgeit was good idk what your saying
Loved the movie
loved it, really liked every character, absolutely loved the world created, dug the vibes and score.
Yeah I think we all knew he was his father, the mom planned her funeral there for a reason.
My point is the whole movie didn't need a futuristic vibe to tell the story. Alot of the scenes were drawn out to make viewers feel an emotion but they could've done alot more with the plot and the scenery. Not a bad movie it just gives futuritic Top boy vibes.
I unfortunately agree
Futuristic when it’s set just twenty years from now 😭
@@alyssadyer4096 They still set the theme to be pretty futuristic but didn't really add much to why they did so
Because illegally squatting in some sort of post apocalyptic shanty town in London isn’t going to happen in the 2020s, they needed to set the parameters for that to happen. Police riot teams don’t just breach council estates in general.
But I really wish more was done, I was expecting top boy blade runner personally, the best part of the movie was the gang who went out and stole food, I can’t remember the names. The movie should have been centred around them.
@@lunafreya5887 My point exactly they did have the one scene where the gangs raided the people's homes after Lord Kirchner's death but golee they could've left out some of the scene with Issac man they were pointless and forced
The Kitchen was a wonderful movie but I hated the ending. I'm so over these ambiguous endings. We stick around for 2 hours (longer for some movies) only to be forced to drum up our own conclusion. It's so annoying. It seems like more and more film makers are going this route.
well said!
Its forcing the need to a sequel
Ok so the film is basically about a man that for whatever reason didn't play a role in his sons upbringing and seems to care only for himself because he had to raise himself. We then spend the entire time waiting for him to open up and step up and lead the residents of The Kitchen in a last stand against those that wish to evict them. Instead we get the confession of him being the boys dad and his front door finally being breached. Maybe this is lined up for a second film, otherwise I feel i wasted my time watching this to the end because we already knew what the end revealed to us.
thats not the point, the ending isn’t supposed to be a reveal or twist or any other plot device. It is simply a powerful moment of vulnerability they share before their supposed detainment. which serves well imo.
It’s clear Daniel Kaluuya was heavily inspired by the Black Mirror episode he was on for the design of Izi’s fancy apartment and the whole story hits close to what’s happening in the real world with Israel killing the people of the Gaza Strip and the surviving kids turning to terrorism as a form of an eye for an eye
If slow burn was a film
Pacing was a slight issue but I still think the message was clear and powerful
I love slow burning films. If The Truman Show was a real show, I’d watch it all day and night 😅 i don’t know why but I really enjoy very slow and ‘boring’ films.
Big shoutout to Tejia Kabs for her movie debut 👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is a throw away top boy last season script. The Kano character even had the same trademark green sully jacket 😅
Haha, it’s hard to not see Sully with the jacket!
Loved the music during ending credits. Trying to look it up.
Such a beautiful father & son movie. It talks to the deeper part of the black males emotional struggle. ❤❤❤
That soundtrack is 🔥🔥
kitchen is powerful movie, deals with the reality in the society
Yeah the powerful nature definitely comes across!
Thanks for the recap. I thought it was a terrible movie. Complete waste of time.
What did you dislike about it because I thought it was great despite being very slow paced
@@barry4649there is no plot or story to it, the least they could do is make the protagonist a bit likeable, Kano's character was just jarring, what is the point at the end? He done what a father should be doing anyway wow how meaningful what a change of heart for his character, not abandoning his offspring yeah wow, what a complicated layered character I'm being sarcastic if you couldn't tell, it is obvious there was barely any thought put into it and no clever or smart occurances or themes at all, no/dry humour which they could at least have made sub par
@@ahdot-bc2nv so your criticism is that the protagonist isn’t a good person? He isn’t meant to be, and the main point of the film is the theme of classism. I do have critiques of the film but a drama not being funny, the protagonist being a bad person and dismissing the story is very harsh and silly criticism. I think it was too slow paced and it could’ve built the world more but overall it’s solid and the acting is great
@@barry4649 na not solid at all mate, anyone who has a good taste in film is not rating this one bit
The film was well made, the acting was good, but we basically knew the story when the father first met the boy, we knew he was his father, but we expected more from the movie. I for one thought Kano was going to stand up for the kitchen and lead the young rebels in a stand against those trying to evict them. Thats what I kept waiting for. the big raid when it was do or die and kano to become unselfish. Instead we find out he's the boy father which we already knew and his front door finally gets kicked in. Now it ended there so maybe there is a contract for a second film depending on how this goes, where kano breaks free with his son and he does lead a rebellion against the eviction. But the whole futuristic thing wasn't even worth it. The story was just about a dad who had a hard upbringing for whatever reason and became a absent father, then didn't apply for multi housing, thats the impression i got, so if the raid didn't happen when it did he would be leaving the kitchen to his single flat.
I really enjoyed it. No slow parts for me at all.
That's fair! It was a powerful film for sure!
I actually really enjoyed this film. I always like movies that have nothing really going on in them. Film like that have me watching them multiple times. I don’t know why but I really like slow paced movies. I enjoyed this film a lot. I was devastated at the loss of a certain footballer and the ending was upsetting. I grew to love Izi and Benji. I loved the sense of community when the police came and the skate rink. Everyone looked out for each other. We don’t know what happened at the end but if we saw the end of Lord Kitchener, I think we can assume the worst. It was an upsetting film. Even the group of guys Benji kept ending up with weren’t really bad guys. It was all love there. I will watch this one again.
Also, I saw some parts of five million merits in this film which is fitting as Daniel Kaluuya was the main character in that Black Mirror episode. I didn’t really put two and two together until the end as I didn’t realise he was the producer until the end.
Was five million merits the one where they had the talent show? I sensed a similarity while watching the moving.
I felt for that young blood, losing his Mum and no one to look after him. Benji is strong-hearted and nearly gets lost in the midst of anger and chaos of the kitchen. Izi was conflicted. Lord Kitchener was a legend. Staples, the rebel, the hero brings on the revolution.
I think it break down what the world could be like, the last days over population. Lack of land for plants to grow I think it was good but it needs a back story.
I think what got me the most was that is seemed to be about a man who couldn’t change the world around him and was stuck even when he achieved his goal
This movie was great and really powerful. Kano is absolutely brilliant in it and he has to do more films, same goes for the actor that plays the kid Benji. I also never thought I’d be on the verge of tears watching Ian Wright acting as a dead body in a film. My only complaint about the film would be that it’s a bit slow and it could’ve built the world a little more. Overall 8/10 film, and like I said Kano has to get into some proper big budget films after this, he’s such a good actor
Get out of the delusion g, what a shit film, absolutely no sort of meaningful story and just all round bs
Kano just starting 👌
@@MRM0J0RISIN777 hopefully he stars in more stuff man. If he’s great in something where he’s doing an accent or something I think he’s gone clear at that point
Loved it accept for the ending
Genuinely. I’m not hating. It takes me a lot to say this about anything really. I was so so so disappointed. Maybe recency bias, but I truly believe that’s the worst film I’ve ever watched. I’ve watched worst films that had lower budgets and worse actors but this was just nothing. It was literally about a guy working at a funeral place and a boy who lost his mum. I genuinley didn’t see any plot to this film. So so so so poor. Shame really.
movie had great potential but felt rushed as if someone tried to condense a 3 season series in a less than 2 hours movie
Yeah it was good, had a powerful message but just felt like the pacing was an issue!
I loved it 😊.. Should be made into a Series on Netflix 🥂
Why didn't they move to benjis mothers apartment instead?
All I see is Sully. It’s gonna take more than a movie like this for Kano to shake Sully off. The movie was just ok was hoping for much more.
I think the movie was all over tthe place. It opened story paths and never finished them. It wasted its time so much with empty scenes, where characters stand still for minutes on end. What happened to Benji's girlfriend? What happened to Jase and his Daughter? Where is Jase's wife? Why is the gang portrayed as villains in one scene, doing good in the other scene, acting like malcolm x in the 3rd scene and having fun in the 4th scene? What really happens to the trees? Why did Izi leave Benji the first time? That was so irritating.
A classicals storytelling like benji getting into real trouble (like foreshadowed) and Izi coming and saving him or benji and his soon-to-be-girlfriend getting into trouble together and benji realizing his mistake and making the right choice of taking her and saving her and thus doing/learning something about responsibility or with a twist on the gang being portrayed as villains at the beginning and turning into antiheroes or or or.... would have been the far better choice imo.
The movie was overall very bland, lackluster and mostly directionless. It had good visuals tho.
i think it’s pretty clear that the gang was never really portrayed as villains. i think izy just meant they are bad influences bcs they fight back and that could get them in lots of trouble.
overall i think ur other questions are obvious. like the girlfriend- she doesn’t have parents anymore. she will probably become just like benji if she doesn’t have anymore family. will probably stay with friends, a gang, etc.
jase and his daughter will most likely become homeless too, just like all the other ppl there that can’t afford somewhere else to stay.
they were a community and at the end, they did what they always do. they continued to look out for each other. I feel like a lot of the questions ur asking are common sense and don’t need to be shown. it’s almost like ur expecting to be spoon fed the answers.
@@briannnanicole hmm i dont feel that way. Like i said, the movie has no focus. It shows things and kinda forgets about them.
Also not showing things in a movie just because some people find it obvious, misses the point of the whole thing being a movie. I watch it, to see things, things that are emotionally touching me. If you dont show any of your story paths to its end, you can stop watching it all together and trying to imagine what could be obvious to you.
The movie tried too hard to be artsy and was kinda arrogant. It built a beautiful shell of what it could've been but the inside was empty.
Its an ok first attempt of the director tho. I hope he comes down from his high horse and fleshes the story more out with intelligent content next time.
I'm an avid fan of the 'Top Boy' and 'Black Mirror' series, and I'm eagerly anticipating 'The Kitchen.' As your review contains spoilers, I plan to watch it in its entirety once I've had the chance to see it myself.
Thanks! Yeah, it's definitely worth a watch
Dont bother its absolutely dire!
i hope they make a second one with izi becoming the leader of the rebellion group
As a fan of Top Boy I loved this and I agree we could almost see the way social housing could be come the norm and that the police want us to become homeless I give it a 10/10 I love British tv and movies that are gritty tense like this but then there is Criminal Record starring former Dr Who Peter Capaldi I fully recommend it to you when it's finished and also Trigger Point
Also I knew I'd recognised The Kitchener as Ian Wright he did a great performance despite having a few scenes it reminded me of Samuel L Jackson in Do The Right Thing as he was a DJ in that film
This has already happened in Kowloon. This is happening everywhere.
Love it so so very sad 😔
I thought this was supposed to be a post apocalyptic action or dystopian movie. Slightly disappointed it was not what I was hoping it would be but it’s still a good movie nonetheless. Considering how much potential lore and culture there was to be explored in the Kitchen itself, i feel this could have been a short series of maybe 1-2 seasons
They wouldn't have been killed just arrssted, the only person we actually see die from the police is lord kitchener and they only killed him because he was a powerful person in their community they wanted to send a strong message to the people of the kitchen, there would have been no reason for them to kill izi or benji as neither of them really seemed to be that influential among the people in the kitchen there is also the fact that benji technically wasn't even from the kitchen anyways and izi had also technically already left as he brought the apartment in the city so yea they would have just been arrested and very likely let go shortly after, izi might have been sent to jail for a few months for hitting the police officer with the big red key but yea there would have been no reason for them to die in the kitchen
Great movie!!
It was slow at times but it was good the message behind it…
Yeah it had a powerful message for sure!
Am glad for this review, because the movie was confusing, i would have to watch it a few times to get it.
What i really want to know is, what could of happend in 20 years time for it to be acceptable to do this, if that was explained the whole movie would make sence. This is not a movie you go into thinking you need to over think things.
This means it might be a part 2
True!
Ian Wright 😊
Ian Wright Wright Wright!
So what happened in the end? They got in?
I think it's deliberately done to be left up to interpretation. So that they could reinforce the power of the message of fighting to survive
I thought izi friend with the daughter was Benji dad
Need that Staples spin off about his rise to power: “A STAPLE IN THE GAME” 👀
Well, a lot of brooding, some mild crime and police brutality but nothing really happened during the entire movie.
Spoiler**
so all possible endings..
1. unlikely but maybe the one knocking was the girl he liked or something trying to save them.
2. police backup from the knocked out officer he fought right outside his door. (personally i think this was the reason and he was dumb for not moving the body if he was unconscious.)
3. the gang leader snitched on the boy since we betrayed their morals, snitched to the police knowing he is most likely in the dad apartment.
This movie was crazy
This movie (imo) had such a top boy-paralel universe type feel to it. Why does staples and izi have beef? (Like others has stated.) The movie was decent until, the ending. This should've been a show instead of a movie.
It's fairly obvious to me that at some stage during the undoubtedly lengthy and tedious development process, some well-meaning white upper middle class gatekeeper/script editor/creative producer decided to strip out most of the story and entertainment value in order to make sure young black people in the UK do not miss the film's message: we don't like fun-loving black criminals, so get it together and grow up to be hardworking but struggling citizens who are quietly obedient when told that London is too good for you and it's time to move out to boring Croydon or Orpington.
Lot of people missing the fact evictions of social housing and housing crisis is currently a huge thing going in in Uk & Europe.
It was a good movie but there were a lot of holes in the story some things should’ve gone deeper in depth hopefully there’s a second film
Beautiful movie
Definitely. Very powerful
Wow dont waste ur time.....he doesnt tell anything you wouldn't already know
I thought this was a good film with a very powerful message. The people that I personally know that didn’t like the movie was because they were expecting it to be like top boy just because Kano is in it.
What powerfull message? You should not run away as a fatherr?
It’s a piss poor movie
I'm perplexed how many ppl don't like slow burn movies. There's a time for every type of movie, loved it tonight, but ending pissed me off lol.
loved it, ending pisses me off, i don't need any more pissed off endings of movies lol
Very disappointing movie...never really hit the mark.
Only good thing was Kano.
Why couldn’t Benji just stay at his mums place I don’t get it
Wouldn’t benji be and heir to what ever his mum had left
It’s understood that benji ad never been in the kitchen his whole life
His mum had money for a more upscale funeral
Wouldn’t he be a ward of the state or taken to his grannie
Ending was lazy, point blank we need a part 2 to redeem this movie. The ambiguous endings are cliche now and we want stories, dont need a happy endings but a ending. Please pick a side!
I love this kind of endings, but NOT in this movie. This kind of ambiguous ending was so unfitting for this movie. Unecessary and kind of pretentious.
i kinda liked the movie but there were a lot of things done wrong
it was sooooooo slooooooooow
Yeah that was it's major problem, the fact it was just so slow!
Timothy 3: 1-5 In the last days people being lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
I really disliked this move. Mainly because it´s not the typical movie with very little pace changes and I was expecting more intense feelings and a closed ending. I was expecting something different
I had high hopes for the Kitchen. Highly disappointing film. Peak drama with no resolve. The film "Athena" does what the Kitchen could not.
First
Boring ass movie - waste of time. Doesn't come even close to top boy or black mirror.
Movie is mid tbh
This film was great at creating a real feeling for dystopian future, I felt like I was there. But in truth the film was a bit boring, I also found myself not sympathetic to that life, I just see them as people who refuse to work and contribute to society.
As someone who came from poverty and areas like this, I worked my way out and bought myself a house - only to be surrounded by social housing people. It’s wrong to mix the classes people want out they will work for it. If they don’t, leave them there.
It’s not fair that everyone in the middle takes the heaviest load.
I feel really sorry for you.
Great story . Bad ending
That's fair! Too ambiguous?
This was a bad movie
Do you think?
fantastic movie with an abysmal ending.
Worst fucking movie in the last 100 years
He cant be the father because of the nose size difference
🥱🥱🥱 such a waste of time. The ending was shocking
go watch transformers then and shut up
