Boxing Day (2021)
Written & directed by star Aml Ameen this film also features Aja Naomi King, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Marianne Jean-Baptiste. A Caribbean-British author returns home for Christmas to introduce his American finance to his family.
A very reductive description of this film would be to call it a Black version of Love Actually. I could enjoy this film more if it did not signal every single plot element from miles off. There is the potential for decent drama here that is unfortunately completely squandered in favour of easy genre tropes.
2/5
