Plot summary

Part film, part baptism, in BLACK MOTHER director Khalik Allah brings us on a spiritual journey through Jamaica. Soaking up its bustling metropolises and tranquil countryside, Allah introduces us to a succession of vividly rendered souls who call this island home. Their candid testimonies create a polyphonic symphony, set against a visual prayer of indelible portraiture. Thoroughly immersed between the sacred and profane, BLACK MOTHER channels rebellion and reverence into a deeply personal ode informed by Jamaica’s turbulent history but existing in the urgent present.

I had hoped to learn something about Jamaica

I had hoped to learn something about Jamaica. This is not that movie. Not sure what this is. I don't recommend this.

This film made in jamaica struck me as

This film made in jamaica struck me as a real waste of celluloid, a missed opportunity to make a film about an underrepresented community. I really wondered what the filmaker's intention was in stringing together lingering shots of the deranged, damaged, deformed, deluded. Yes, there were striking images, close ups of the very old, the insane plus the odd shot of a naked woman, a close up of a woman in labour, a teenage girl but it lacked meaning, commentary. It felt uncomfortable in a pervy voyeuristic way and I was surprised that the filmmaker is half Jamaican and chose such negative, ugly images. An unpleasant frustrating film which seemed not to fit the title Black Mother in anyway, no investigation of women's strength and struggle just shots of ageing hookers wining up and close ups of a vagina about to pop out a baby. Nastiness passing as art house?
