I am no party animal or goer. So when I tell you this is one of the best party movies, then anybody should just believe it and experience the best party of the depressing 2020 and forget the year with a smile on your face. Steve McQueen has really outdone himself in this. “Observatory” Storytelling at its finest. Utterly beautiful Songs of 80s take the story forward. The way dancing sequences are shot, the way all the expressions are captured, the way protagonist’s story moves forward with it was just a work of a genius. Though I would argue that music is THE PROTAGONIST here. Such an unforgettable moments Steve captured in just 69 minutes. In the discriminatory 80s era, black people putting out their own party (Not allowed in clubs) and just enjoying themselves, forgetting all of their sorrows - PURE JOY. MUST WATCH.
