फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
Full disclosure: We streamed this film in our house during Covid, so the viewing experience was different more like watching with occasional commentary than if it was in a movie theater.
The good: I generally liked the film. I found it entertaining and interesting enough to keep my attention. While watching, you could tell that it was made on a budget, but they did a good job with the film. The plot kept us interest by leaving us guessing what the characters are doing and why they were doing it. The movie was not super fast paced but there were tense moments (including violence) and things were sufficiently broken up that it did not have long dragging segments.
The bad: If I had one complaint, it would be the setup. The history of why the protagonist is sent to Nigeria is left very vague and affected the evaluation of the movie. An ancillary question to the plot is why anybody would think sending the protagonist to Nigeria was good idea? This question is so pervasive that it made it tough to suspend disbelief and tough to relate to the protagonist. Our group's speculative assessments of this issue ranged from 1. he is a young adult who, like most kids, is stuck with his parents' decisions because he is too young to legally make his own decisions, to 2. he is an evil (or amoral) thug who is on the run from his dark past. This speculation had a large impact on whether each viewer was able to identify with, and be interested in, the protagonist and what happened to him, ultimately determining how much each liked the movie. I was closer to the first group, so liked the movie more than others that watched with me.

I was invested in the story all the way through and I think it also had a cool ending. Worth watching Definitely
Due to the unfortunate exploitation of 'Nigerian' theme i would sell to Faraday, let's say, 10 beams for the price of 10 stars; yet because of highly realistic absence of any 'objective' justice or pseudo depth of ressentiment in described and depicted occasions\connections (considering even a death\murder, which felt like another cheap exploitation or, in a way, tribute to idiosyncracy of American/capitalistic\canceled culture) - this piece of art is certainly worthy of some kind of 'Independent Awards'. It has its' flaws, you can't count them with 24 stickiest fingers, but all those remain unobtrusive to the Bigger Picture or concept, even to Everyday Life.
Living in Ukraine, I must add that Ukrainian directors should learn from Nigerians and African culture in general, that's for sure.

I really enjoyed this movie. I didn't find it to be too slow as one reviewer said (and I can be very impatient when it comes to books and movies). If I can find the time, I hope to make a study guide and use this film with my middle grades students who don't seem to realize the creature comforts they enjoy living in the US. It will also be good to teach them that as youngsters, they don't know everything and need to listen to their parents and other adults who have their best interests at heart.
I don't always give Nigerian movies a try, but this won my heart from the beginning. I enjoyed the manner the plot develops, the acting was genuine and serious.
The subtle sound tracks gives the film an endearing score. I know it's not 100% giving it's an African movie rocking an African budget but the directing was really fine and intentional, the editing was professional cut. Overall I advise potential viewers to give it a chance:

- ट्रिवियाWhen Grace takes Eze out and scolds him about his food, she tells him it's Nigerian food, which is true in the sense that it's from Nigerian fast food chain Sweet Sensation, although what he's eating is a Boga Masta shawarma, a typical Middle Eastern dish.
