I absolutely loved this film! Apart from the cinematography, sound and music score that was spot on, the story really resonated with me.
The film was not fast paced, but the still moments were filled with unspoken emotion and thoughts which, to me, didn't make it feel slow and filled the silence. When the lead actors didn't speak, I felt like I could hear their exact thoughts. Their emotion, or rather the emotion that the characters were trying to hide, and their body language told another layer of the story perfectly.
Simon Elrahi's performance was a great balance to the story and offered warmth.
The African scenery was superb too.
I also loved how abruptly the film ended, which to me meant that the filmmaker was saying that the problems addressed in the film is ongoing and no resolution has been found for it yet.
I think that perhaps people with less "lived experience" on the topic or compassion and understanding for the topic might not grasp it fully. But it certainly touched me and resonated with me. I left the cinema feeling overwhelmed with emotion and found myself looking at the trailer the follow day reliving the experience.

Wow, this film really had me on the edge of my seat. A typical horror film, but with slightly more story. It is exactly what you hope to get when you are looking for a good old scary night in. Great acting, great visually, very suspenseful!
This film was such an entertaining film to watch, it had me engaged from start to finish. It brought up so many questions in me, made me think about a lot of things. Beautifully executed, stunning visuals, strong story, and overall great job!
