Good work with many technical problems. An extremely low budget and a movie created in a country without consistent cinema culture. Imagine how you would evaluate a movie shot in Europe or USA many many decades ago. That's it. It is really a good movie considering the resources that they had available.

Not the best movie but not the worse also! Hope next one will be bettwr!

When you make a movie, you need to understand that you're telling a story. So, dialogue and narrative are extremely important. With that said, this is by far the worst dialogue I've seen in the past few years; I'm Angolan and I couldn't finish watching this movie.

A movie can also be a portrayal of a society. This movie also failed at that. That is not how Angolan people talk, move or act. So, what is your movie trying to accomplish really?

Now, moving forward, look to Brazillians as an example. They focus on character development and story (City of God, Tropa de Elite, etc). Focus on THAT!

There is a good story being told, there are good actors, there is a good director! Obviously, the final work is not what is expected of a film that will be in Cannes or other fancy festivals! The movie delivers what is expected of a really very limited budget movie that took years to complete. It also must be analyzed from the perspective of the significance it has for the development of the country's film industry. It is not simple or easy to become a filmmaker and develop a movie in a poor and resourceless country! It's very funny when people with limited vision and precarious ability to analyze reality, watch an African film, built on a very low budget, and expect to find Hollywood quality! Lol! Last week, I watched a movie from Mozambique (Resgate). I hope netflix will make more African films available very soon. Go on guys

Although the characters are wanting and the action scenes not as well executed, the film is a phenomenal trial and a bold move towards this particular genre.
