A Pound & A Prayer
Just came back from watching this with the fam and I really enjoyed the film. The accents (even Rico 
), the music, the acting and the backdrops were authentic as fukk. I’ve heard all those sound system tracks growing up because of my Mum and uncle so even I felt nostalgic watching this.
My only concerns were the fact that the pacing of the film was a bit off for a 100 minute movie and the ending didn’t really feel conclusive but all in all, really good directorial debut for Idris.
I can’t be asked to sift through the family vinyls to find these tracks so I can’t wait for the soundtrack to drop

Also, the ironic thing in her videos she has a mix of british/Jamaican in her own accent as she's lived here for years so she's being a bit hypocritical....and the movie similarly reflects those from Jamaica who have been here for a long time who have a twang in their accents as a result. What about Kymani's character in Shottas who was of Jamaican descent born in Miami and switched between an American accent and patois? It's the same thing with those of us born here in the UK with Jamaican or other heritage. We may be born in the UK, but for most of us Jamaica runs through our veins and I'll never let anybody deny me that. She just needs to be careful because I know plenty of people back home who wouldn't even consider HER a proper Jamaican now because she lives 'ah farrin' and has a british lilt in her voice when she speaks.
