Following its premiere and UK cinema tour, BEL has received a 5-star review in The Guardian.
Critic Chitra Ramaswamy calls Louise Lockwood’s documentary a "tender and grief-stricken documentary... directed with remarkable care," capturing the extraordinary life and music of Beldina Odenyo (Heir of the Cursed).
“What emerges is a sensitively drawn portrait of a visionary artist haunted by trauma, formed through her teenage video diaries, the words of those who loved her, [and] the handful of exquisite songs she left behind…” — Chitra Ramaswamy, The Guardian
A huge thank you to Leah McAleer, Bel’s family and friends, director Louise Lockwood and the entire team who made this film possible.
