Jacob Yakob / Codeblack FilmsActress Gugu Mbatha-Raw referenced author Marianne Williamson's stirring words about fear — that often we are"powerful beyond measure" — as she discussed her provocative new sci-fi film,"Fast Color."
This feminist spirit is also what powers"Fast Color," a dystopian movie that highlights the supernatural strengths of three generations of black women who overcome personal challenges such as addiction, uncertainty and the complexities of motherhood. When we first meet Ruth, she’s strapping herself to a rusty hotel bed, desperate to control her powers that have caused an earthquake.
“Growing up an only child in a single-parent household with my mom, I can definitely relate to the intensity of that bond and how it shifts over time,” she said. “That dynamic of trying to reconnect with your parents and your child is sometimes the hardest thing to do. Ruth is a mother, but she is also an addict and has had to process her demons. She doesn’t feel like she is up to the task of raising her daughter and fears stepping into the shoes of motherhood.
Casting three black female leads in a genre that hasn’t always been kind to characters of color is the film’s other compelling statement. The fact that Ruth, Bo and Lila are making it on their own in a post-draught, apocalyptic state, battling a wasteland without the assistance of white people or any men, is profound.
