Sweetness in the Belly
(2019)
Directed by Zeresenay
Berhane Mehari this film based on the novel of the same name stars
Dakota Fanning, Wunmi Mosaku, Kunal Nayyar and Yahya Abdyl-Mateen II.
In the 1980s refugees from Ethiopia make it to England.
There is a fascinating
story to be told here unfortunately hanging it all round a white
woman really leaves a sour taste in the mouth. I have no idea why we
have to force in a white woman as an immigrant to tell their story.
Overall I was pretty disappointed in this one.
2/5
