I think the Mirror Boy is a great children movie, simple in spirit, yet powerful, effective and well performed. It may seem almost nothing takes place in the adventure, but the spiritual concepts developed throughout are interesting and deep. It's truly a journey of initiation into the culture of the ancestors.

The soundtrack is awesome, varied and rich, quite appealing and also bridging tradition and contemporary concepts! For me the best performance is from Osita Iheme as the Mirror Boy.

This was my introduction to Nollywood cinema and I loved it. Will be looking for more Nigerian movies.

I found Oka! to be an interesting and entertaining movie. The story is compelling and I felt constantly challenged to confront the western culture in which I live with this foreign ancient rainforest tradition that has survived against the enormous pressure of the outside world. Although it's true that it doesn't have very much depth as far as the work of Louis Sarno is concerned and the plot develops very much in the vein of a commercial movie, I still found this picture to be quite honest, beautiful and unique. I think it is a nice introduction to the life of the Bayaka pygmies and the curious life of Louis Sarno. For me it was an interesting blend of documentary and fiction. Loved it.

Don't vote 10 for a movie if you feel it deserves a higher rating. If you vote 10, your vote does not count. Vote 9 instead.

This is a movie about dreams, imagination and magic. Also a film that tells us about Africa as the spiritual cradle of mankind. It's filled with beautiful little tales all united by the fantastic dreams shared by a boy and a girl. A journey of initiation and communion with nature on a deep spiritual level. It's so beautiful!

Maybe people that don't like this movie think it's lacking violence and a war of good against evil. Ain't you tired of that yet? Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, they all need villains to justify being heroes. Here there is no need for any of that. And yet there is so much to enjoy! What a heart-warming quest! Learn to talk to the spirits of trees and animals. Learn the importance of tales and memory. So much in this movie that I haven't seen anywhere else! Congratulations to everyone that made this film possible. A true treasure for the children of the world.
