What an interesting film! Music and philosophy all tied up together in a monolithic way. The director sure knew lots of history and stuff. I love the musical sequences. And some of this was downright disturbing and sexual in a sexual way. I loved it!

I watched this film with 3 of my friends. 4 of us together, all young white guys, and we all liked it.

I especially LOVED IT! <3

This is a unique, creative masterpiece of a film. It's artsy, experimental, clearly limited budget - but it all works out great.

Sure, there's little plot. But not every movie needs a plot to be good, some movies are just great pieces of art, an experience - and this is one of those.

I can promise you, as far as such promises are possible, that you have never seen anything like it before. And as a development in the new genre of Afrofuturism, I personally believe that this movie could be a pivotal moment in the history of African film. A pioneer to inspire others about what can be made.

Don't judge this movie by any standards you're familiar with (especially Hollywood). View it through the lense of something new, fresh, exciting, and I'm sure most would agree with me that this is something truly special. An experience absolutely worth watching.

I knew precious little about this movie before watching it. I may know even less after having watched it...and yet I enjoyed it tremendously

My son had recommended I watch "Quilombo" and this movie could pair well with that. A swirl of sound and color, a story that feels epic with anti-colonial overtones.

While the movie pulses with resistance, traces an odd odyssey of a striking and transforming character. It is like a poem, one tends to feel it rather than follow it.

If reading the one line/three clause official description baffles you, and you don't mind being baffled hop on board this Afrofuturist modern mothership.

I likely will rewatch this again, ideally with one or both sons. I think someone could take various frames and make paintings of them. I was sort of expecting this was a crazed masterpiece of an African auteur from Rwanda, but I guess I better call Saul (Williams) out as the genius.

At times this made me think of Sahel musicians recording music on cell phone chips - that kind of collision of tribal and techno.

Unanimous Goldmine, indeed.

It seems like everything went into aesthetics with this one. There are really cool ideas and backgrounds and characters, but instead of plot development, we just get a lot of concepts shouted at us instead. This would have been better simply as an album or long music video, in my opinion. I am a huge Saul Williams fan and had hoped for a more complete movie experience.

Take Sun Ra's Space is the Place. Update it to modern day Africa. It runs like Powaqaatsi if that movie had an actual plot. Combine liberally with costumes and makeup reminiscent of Liquid Sky. Add in a teaspoon of 2001. A dash of Viridiana. Fold in liberal amounts of Marxist poetry. Beware, it's a musical. Probably the only sci-fi-ish musical ever attempted. The musical parts often drag on in parts, especially the anti-Imperialism poetry jams. However, it's well worth the watch for all the color! Contains enough gender bending to qualify as a product of the 21st century. WTF did I just watch, will be your reaction upon the conclusion. Tunes reminiscent of Aphex Twin, Deep Forest, and the Red Army Choir. Destined to become a cult favorite in 20 years or so.
