‘Dandelion’ Opens Today

Written by:

KiKi Layne burns up the screen as a musical artist who has yet to break out.

“Known professionally as Dandelion, singer/songwriter Teresa (KiKi Layne) storms out of her home one night in Cincinnati, Ohio, and heads to South Dakota. What might compel the young Black woman to travel more than 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) to a bastion of white people gathering at Bike Week?”

To find out, you’ll need to read my review, published earlier this week at Screen Anarchy, but — spoiler! — I liked it, concluding: “With beauty and grace, Dandelion marvelously captures how one woman maneuvered down a long road and decided who she wanted to be and where she wanted to go.”
