Mangrove has the longest runtime of Steve McQueen’s Small Axe movies, which allows it to really flush out these characters, set up the conflict of the Mangrove vs the London justice system, and allow an array of strong performances.
All of Steve McQueen’s Small Axe movies are available to stream on Amazon Prime.
Of all the five Small Axe films, Mangrove feels the most well-rounded.
It has strong performances, a story that keeps you engaged all the way through, and true-life events that enrage but also inspire.
