Donald Glover may have stepped away from his FX hit “Atlanta,” but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been busy. The AtlantaFX singer and actor Donald Glover recently released “Guava Island” featuring Rihanna. The movie has gotten mixed reviews.
The original movie, streaming for Amazon, has gotten mixed reviews from fans and critics alike.
Atlanta’s Donald Glover stars in Amazon’s ‘Guava Island’
The film was shown at the 2019 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Glover, or rather his musical alter ego, Childish Gambino, headlined the event.
Glover stars as Deni Maroon, a music star on a tropical island. He’s in a relationship with Rihanna, who plays Kofi Novia, a woman who works in the textile plant, basically a sweat shop.
Watch ‘Guava Island’ on Amazon Prime here
The film also stars Letitia Wright, who picks up from her turn in “Black Panther,” to play Kofi’s co-worker and best mate Yara. Reviews have been nothing to praise-worthy for her.
“Guava Island” was directed by Hiro Murai, who helms “Atlanta.” The movie was filmed over a short period of time in Cuba.
The movie has a number of Childish Gambino songs old and new, including an alternate version of “This is America.”
Donc Guava Island donne encore plus de sens et un nouveau contexte à "This is America" presque un an après la sortie du morceau. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/5iGbLiW3UW
— Julien (@DukeofMars) April 13, 2019
Judging from fans’ reactions, “Guava Island” missed the boat on a few things: Many people thought it was self-aggrandizing and even a disappointment.Many others left feeling like “Was it a musical?” or “Was this a 55-minute music video?”We won’t reveal any spoilers here, but suffice to say that this was simply a delicious visual treatment that Glover and Murai wanted to get out creatively. That expression manifested itself in “Guava Island” this year. Next year or the next project, it will be something else entirely. And that much, we can be sure of.Atlanta is connected to so many movies these days that it’s hard to keep up with it all.
