Diop's approach is interesting as it felt like a real-life poetry being at displayed. Filled with gorgeous sound designs, music, and interesting imagery choices to present, it's definitely a documentary that sheds a good light on it's way. Interconnected with poetic dialogue, it's slow and meditative approach creates an interesting experience.
It isn't a standard documentary as it's more of an experimental art piece of a movie at times. But it's definitely an interesting experience.
As a viewer from Europe, I felt a slight lack of explanation about what modern Benin is like beyond its capital, which would have helped form an opinion on the discussions presented by the Beninese in the film. However, it's clear that the filmmaker did not set out to provide a comprehensive overview of the country's current state.
Listening to Beninese talk about the significance of gaining these pieces back and all of the relics still in France was the meatiest part of this film and the most engaging for me. Often, I feel that a unsubstantial film could be edited for improvement. In this case, I feel that a lot of substance could have been added.

Voice of Artifact #26: As far back as I can go, there has never been a night so deep and opaque. Here, it is the only possible reality. The beginning and the end. I journeyed so long in my mind but it was so dark in this foreign place that I lost myself in my dreams, becoming one with these walls. Cut off from the land of my birth as if I were dead. There are thousands of us in this night. We all bear the same scars. Uprooted. Ripped out. The spoils of massive plundering. Today, it's me they have chosen like their finest and most legitimate victim! They have named me 26. Not 24. Not 25. Not 30. Just 26.
