Not many actors-turned-filmmakers will swing for the fences in such a big way with their directorial debuts as Daniel Kaluuya has done with “The Kitchen.” Instead of making some small indie drama, Kaluuya, alongside co-director Kibwe Tavares, decided to go with a full dystopian sci-fi drama. But you better believe this is a film filled with a ton of heart at its core.

Thanks to “Oppenheimer” and a Golden Globe victory for Best Actor, Cillian Murphy is one of cinema’s “it” actors of the moment. And it’s a long time coming for the “actor’s actor.” So is it any surprise a drama starring Murphy will open the 2024 Berlinale next month? No, it is not.
