Roman 03/31/2025 Damn, ow, fantastic but ooooowwwww. See more Christy L 03/27/2025 Compelling story about death and cultural rituals in an entirely different setting. See more Roy J 03/11/2025 The sexual assault plot is hard-hitting, but I also found the Zambia culture depicted in the movie to be very compelling. Glad A24 distributed this African movie in the US. See more Scott J. @NC_Dinos Feb 16 By far the most unique film of 2025. Tastefully addresses serious topic while feeling like I was watching home videos. I'll give it a 4.2/5 and recommend seeing it on any platform. See more Helen H @Gordon118 Jan 13 Loved this one, but mainly because this is my home country! Nice to see some young folks making a living out there. See more James M @LizardKing75 Dec 20 I would say that this is a decent film, not a great film, but decent. It is nice to see cinema coming out of the African (sub-saharan) continent to give us a glimpse of the world through African eyes. Not just your typical conflict diamonds, poverty, misery, famine and war in Africa movies, but a more genuine take on the situation from people who actually grew up in the region and live there. I sympathize a lot with the alienation that the main character feels from her traditional culture. I share that same sense of alienation in that I have always felt disconnected from my own native culture, sort of a stranger in a strange land phenomena. "Traditional" cultures just seem so strange to me. Even when I grew up in one. I also liked the power & money dynamic between the different families during the "trial". It is a very topical narrative in that it shows the rich screwing over the poor yet again. 3.5/5 See more Read all reviews
