The Kitchen

The writing is so strong and the performances so good that they feel like real people.

I like this film quite a lot. It's sharp, it's fast and also slow.

This is a compelling sci-fi movie, one that does not pander to the usual expectations.

For all the near future stuff and all the sci-fi elements, it's a character drama.

The rich world-building is the picture’s main asset: the film looks fantastic, with its screaming neons and precipitous concrete cliff faces.

A very robust debut that lingers in your mind after.

Marking the directorial debut of Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya, working alongside architect-turned-filmmaker Kibwe Tavares, The Kitchen is ... a warzone waiting to go off.

Closing this year’s London Film Festival, The Kitchen is a remarkable portrayal of gentrification in a futuristic, dystopian London, but one that is eerily accurate to the capital’s current state.

Visually interesting, smartly written, and lifted up by two great central performances, it’s a thought provoking film that engages with its social issues with pointed determination.

The Kitchen is something like the dub mix of Mike Davis's Planet of Slums and William Gibson's All Tomorrow's Parties.
