Reviews:

A deep film about poverty, ambition, ego, and community
Though the low budget of this film is obvious, it is an amazing story, nonetheless so because it’s based on a true one! It’s also sometimes quite beautifully filmed.

What seems like it will be a simple country-boy-makes-good-in-the-city fairytale turns into a darker story of ego, searing poverty, class warfare, and a lust for fame. At first we’re drawn to the Ivan, then gradually repulsed.

The compelling plot is built on a fantastic set of characters that weave a chillingly accurate portrayal of Jamaica in the late 60’s — a tapestry of desperately poor but infinitely resilient people.

To those IMDb reviewers who thought the story immoral – would you say the same thing about Bonnie & Clyde, Scarface, or Cagney’s Public Enemy? This movie examines the effect of despair, desperation, and ambition. It’s not a fairytale — grow up.
