Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"[A] promising, quietly moving first feature from the directing duo of Arie and Chuko Esiri." - 10/21/2020 Hollywood Reporter


"[An] engaging, earnest, loose-limbed debut feature..." - 03/01/2020 Variety


3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Their voice is their own; the camera is mobile when it needs to be, but stands still much of the time, letting the excellent cast build their characters as the events of the film test their endurance." - 07/23/2021 RogerEbert.com


"[T]he directors, Arie and Chuko Esiri, evocatively capture a milieu where everyone -- rich or poor -- is always hustling and bargaining." - 07/22/2021 New York Times
