For all its comforting warmth, Sissako’s film ultimately lacks the deeper complexity of its namesake, even if watching it is often as soothing as sipping a freshly brewed cup.
The film’s eclectic ambitions and increasingly eccentric construction get the better of it, resulting in a very uneven brew.
Instead of taking us in, Black Tea gently pushes us away, even if the world depicted is certainly one worth exploring.
The film aims for woozy sensualism but falls way short on the ambient richness and X-factor chemistry required to sell such an essentially confected exercise.
