The Day Shall Come (15)
Dir. Chris Morris, UK-US, 2019, 88 mins.
Cast. Anna Kendrick, Danielle Brookes, Marchant Davis.
Nine years after his stunning debut Four Lions, British writer-director Chris Morris makes his long-anticipated return to screen with another tightly-scripted dark comedy. In Miami, where poverty sits uneasily alongside wealth and gentrification, a preacher and community leader rallies a small group of followers in a fight against racial inequality. But in a post-9/11 America, the FBI are on the hunt for potential threats and see an opportunity to exploit Moses’ unconventional dreams of a revolution. Alarmingly ‘based on a hundred true stories’, The Day Shall Come is a scathing satirical comedy taking aim at US political and legal systems.
