Nina Edwards, an actress who is shocked by the transformation of Brixton, her own home, where some white people dominate the buying the buildings by abusing people, after years of living at Shoreditch. After being involved in the case of gentrification, she decides to paint a piece of art in order to get people of Brixton together.
The simple title, loaded with meaning, should not disguise just how much is packed into this profound and articulate debut feature from a very promising London-based filmmaker.
The movie shrewdly lays out how a district's bohemian and diverse character is what makes it vulnerable to long-term predatory investment, pushing Brixton in the direction of white Notting Hill.
The fictional parts of the film are underdeveloped with ideas that go nowhere. It's the nonfictional parts, however, that will see audiences pay attention, and understand to the plight gentrification has on working class residents.
Although the film's approach to issues is a little on the nose at times, in Amoo, we are introduced to a distinctive and bold new voice in British cinema.
