Despite [its] issues, the arresting images of "She Paradise" and the distinctive voice of its director mark Cozier as a filmmaker to watch.

She Paradise is a love letter not only to the autonomy of a young Black woman but the culture of a proud island nation, too.

Director Maya Cozier's first film is simple in its premise-a coming of age story-but she also incorporates a complex set of conditions growing up as a Black Caribbean woman.

Rated: 4/5

Cinemalogue

While it too often downplays its unique cultural angle in favor of coming-of-age cliches, this gritty drama set in the world of underground soca dancing nevertheless finds an appealing rhythm.
