The film is something of a big deal, despite its unheralded Netflix premiere. The Kitchen marks Daniel Kaluuya’s (Nope, Judas and the Black Messiah) directorial debut, alongside short film director Kibwe Tavares. Kaluuya also co-wrote the film with Gangs of London’s Joe Murtagh, cementing a vision of dystopian, near-future London alongside an unconventional tale of found family. It’s Blokamp-esque in design, but is centered on Britain’s Black diaspora. It’s a shame such a unique film can’t be seen on the biggest screen possible, but it at least deserves to be seen by as many eyes as possible.

Dystopian is boring. Everyone is doing it. It's like no one has the imagination to see a decent future.

Well it does require a ton of imagination

There are books than manage, TV could too. They just don't want to risk not feeding us what they know we already eat.

Considering that, the way things are going, a dystopia would be a good result, perhaps everyone could serve us up more utopian views of the future...

If no has hope, no one bothers trying. I think things will get worse before they get better, but going better is the only real option. Plus, economics is starting pushing the right way already. Green energy is cheap energy. EVs are already over all cheaper. Same with solar and home batteries and the costs keep coming down while capability goes up. There are stories of hopepunk and solarpunk out there. Let's hear those.
