Steve Rose Guardian For a film addressing worthwhile issues of beauty - outer and inner, and the prejudices around it - it rarely rises above the superficial. Rated: 1/5 Nov 1, 2018 Full Review Sarah Cartland Caution Spoilers A witty, emotional, yet hard-hitting look at colourism in relationships. With a wonderful performance from Adele Oni as Jade, trying to navigate relationships with men who set her impossible standards while demanding she also be true to herself. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 8, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The movie was good, it is hilarious how "top critics" say that it is all just superficial, that is the point of this whole colourism. Colourism is superficial, but people use it to judge and define people. It just goes to show, that the "top critics" have no idea, what is going on 'down here' with us minions. Believe or not, people are as ignorant as represented in the film. The only reason it got 4 and not 5 is I thought the sex scenes were too long. I can be a prude when watching it with my mum lol. Apart from that, well done! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Attempting to speak on Colourism in the UK was a really worthwhile effort, but the production value, script and the acting needed more work to land the comments the film was trying to make. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie. I'm extremely pleased that it touched both sides of the spectrum, definitely not equally but enough to open the conversation. One of the characters is unbalanced but the main character Jade keeps you engaged and was fabulous. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
