we're going to eventually need to talk about how good every part of GUAVA ISLAND is but for now I want to ignore Donald and Rihanna and talk about how every shot Hiro Murai ever puts to film is mESMERIZING

A fan termed the film as ’thought-provoking’ and ‘original’, stating that its “light tone belies a much darker exploration of exploitation.”
#GuavaIsland is as brilliant, original and thought provoking as you would expect from @donaldglover and Hiro Murai. The light tone belies a much darker exploration of exploitation. @rihanna is excellent and, as always, @letitiawright is magical
