Pretty Red Dress Blu-ray (BFI/Region B)

A debut feature from writer and director Dionne Edwards with breakthrough performances from Natey Jones, Temilola Olatunbosun and the chart-topping singer Alexandra Burke in her first film role.

Travis has just been released from prison and it quickly becomes apparent that everything has changed while he’s been gone. While girlfriend Candice is on the up and auditioning to star in a musical, teenage daughter Kenisha is struggling in school and her relationship with her mum is tense. When Travis buys Candice her dream dress for an audition, rather than smoothing over the family’s problems, it ends up creating even more… As secrets and desires left unsaid threaten to spill out, Travis is forced to re-examine who he is and how he wants to be perceived in the world.
