Summary
Get ready for a wild ride with “Stew Peas,” the new Jamaican film hitting July 22nd — a genre-bending thriller that blends family drama, folklore, and mystery. At its heart: a matriarch detective (Kerry-Ann ‘Chiney K’ Collins) juggling murder conspiracies and motherhood, while her husband (Tarique Barrett) and teen daughter (Shernet Swearine) navigate their own tensions. But the real magic? Quera South as Marcia — unpredictable, magnetic, and stealing every scene. The film’s title nods to a legendary Jamaican dish rumored to “tie a man,” weaving real magic with mental health themes and leaving you guessing. Critics note shaky sound design and a plot that leans more into family chaos than murder, but the buzz? Unstoppable. “Stew Peas” is a bold, fresh voice in Jamaican cinema — chaotic, compelling, and full of surprises.
