Our take

Three years before she adapted a Twitter thread into the electrifying strippers-at-war tale Zola, Janicza Bravo made her feature debut with this bracingly funny comedy of embarrassment. With its diverse cast and exacting eye for timing and composition, Lemon has directorial rigour and style to burn.
