The story of a British-Nigerian boy growing up in rural Lincolnshire and inner-city London is told with compassion in Shola Amoo’s profoundly moving drama
Writer-director Shola Amoo’s “semi-autobiographical” second feature is an affecting coming-of-age tale pitched somewhere between the sublime American poetry of Barry Jenkins’s Moonlight and the streetwise British grit of Noel Clarke and Menhaj Huda’s Kidulthood movies. A huge leap forward from the experimental collages of 2016’s A Moving Image, The Last Tree bristles with film-making confidence, plunging us into the world of its young protagonist as he struggles to find his place in a strangely changing environment. Powerful performances, tactile visuals and an elegantly fluid score add to the impact of this impressively understated yet profoundly moving tale.
We open in Lincolnshire, with a scene of bucolic beauty reminiscent of the dreamy field-of-corn sequence in Lynne Ramsay’s Ratcatcher. Here, 11-year-old Femi (Tai Golding...

Sam Adewunmi is charismatic as a Nigerian-British foster child forced back to the inner city in Shola Amoo’s second film
This sombre, yet heartfelt and warmly acted drama is from Shola Amoo, whose 2016 debut was the engaging docudrama A Moving Image, about communities in Brixton, south London. The Last Tree is about a Nigerian-British boy called Femi who was fostered out to Mary (Denise Black), a carer in the countryside, because of unspecified problems suffered by Femi’s mum – a strong performance from Gbemisola Ikumelo.
Ten-year-old Femi lives a happy, idyllic existence in this rural place, but it is all shattered when his mum shows up, now ready to take him back, and poor Femi has no choice but to comply, despite Mary having given a promise that he need never leave her. Femi now moves to a tough London neighbourhood and he finds that his mum is an...

"A hypnotic coming-of-age story." Picturehouse Cinemas in the UK has unveiled the first official trailer for The Last Tree, an acclaimed film that first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year where it picked up a number of rave reviews. The Last Tree is the second feature film from filmmaker Shola Amoo, and is about a boy of Nigerian descent growing up in England. After initially growing up in foster care in the countryside, he moves to London with his mum, but he doesn't feel like he fits in there. The film is a semi-autobiographical second feature from Amoo, exploring what it means to be a young black man in the early 00s in London. Sam Adewunmi stars as Femi, with a cast including Nicholas Pinnock, Denise Black, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Jayden Jean-Paul-Denis, Rasaq Kukoyi, Ibrahim Jammal, Tai Golding, and Layo-Christina Akinlude. This looks incredible, I'm very much looking forward to it.

From Nigeria to Lincolnshire then London and back again, writer/ director Shola Amoo’s semi-autobiographical The Last Tree tells the tale of a young boy Femi (Tai Golding). After being raised by foster mother Mary (Denise Black) in rural Lincolnshire, Femi is suddenly, reluctantly reunited with birth mum Yinka (Gbemisola Ikumelo) and forced to move with her to grubby, brutalist London. As well as having to adapt to the urban municipal, Femi finds himself beaten and being raised under new strict rules then enrolled in a City Academy and forced to defend himself against bullies.
Shola Amoo’s enchanting second feature examines how changing environments and fractured families have a significant effect on young minds and can substantially re-shape identities. The script follows Femi through childhood into adolescence, where he is played by Sam Adewunmi. As a teenager, Femi is livid with religious mum Yinka, and uses her as target...

A child too young to understand the complexities of adulthood or desire to ask questions when the pain of their ramifications is still raw. A mother too proud to excuse the situation she created with the all too justifiable reasons able to imbue her with the strength necessary to offset a self-hatred fostering her projection of abusive anger. These two archetypes are intertwined within Shola Amoo’s The Last Tree as though an ouroboros damning each other to the suffering their silence creates, the hindsight necessary for healing many years and even more hardships away. And to make matters worse is the possibility that forgiveness and/or acceptance might never actually arrive. The hurt ruling their actions threatens to lead them astray, warping compassion with resentment until reconciliation appears impossible.
The child is Femi. Raised under the foster care of Mary (Denise Black) within the rural calmness of Lincolnshire, he...

The word “Brexit” is never uttered in “The Last Tree,” yet the U.K.’s current identity crisis — its surging, hostile preoccupation with defining the parameters of Britishness after a more culturally porous period of history — reverberates quietly throughout Shola Amoo’s sophomore feature. Amoo’s own childhood inspired this plainly heartfelt study of a Nigerian-British boy, raised in a white rural community, whose sense of self changes drastically when he moves to a diverse, deprived area of London. The coming-of-age saga that ensues thoughtfully alternates universal adolescent insecurities with urgently specific minority politics — filtered through a first-person perspective that itself oscillates between furious clarity and vivid confusion.
Confusion, be it over one’s identity, one’s emotions or one’s place in the world, is actually what “The Last Tree” depicts with most assurance. Switching to outright narrative cinema after his restless multimedia debut “A Moving Image,” Amoo elastically...

A Russell T Davies TV project is always something to be excited about. From gifting us Queer as Folk to saving Doctor Who, he has given us a lot to be grateful for over the years. Hence why his various comeback series on Channel 4, E4 and online later this month are being greeted with such a sense of anticipation.
Cucumber, Banana and Tofu come 16 years after Davies shook up TV with Queer as Folk and his new shows look likely to be just as exciting, exploring the passions and pitfalls of 21st century gay life with a candid sense of humour.
But will it create as many stars as Davies's previous Channel 4 series? Here's what happened to the Queer As Folk stars after it ended in 2000.

The 'Sherlock' actor was left in fear of his life when he was attacked by gun-toting car-jackers who tried to bundle him into their vehicle, but he was able to persuade them to let him go. Recalling the incident - which took place in South Africa while he was filming mini-series 'To The Ends of the Earth' with actress Denise Black - he told the Daily Star newspaper: "These six men appeared suddenly from the eucalyptus plantation.

Benedict Cumberbatch has revealed that he was almost kidnapped by armed carjackers during a TV shoot in South Africa. The Sherlock star was set upon by the six-strong gang after bursting a tyre on a scuba-diving trip with Coronation Street actress Denise Black and another friend in 2005. "They said, 'Put your hands on your head, don't look at us', and were frisking us for drugs, money, weapons. Then they bundled us into the car," he recalled to the Daily Star. "I could see the headlight beams bumping over the dirt track and I thought of shallow graves. By the end of the night I was tied up next to Denise." Cumberbatch added that he was forced to reason with the attackers when they loaded him into the car boot after stealing their valuables. "I argued my way out.
