Critiques (1)
One doesn't even want to have prejudices, but then one ends up wondering what actually came from Africa and how well it succeeded in working with actors who don't look like actors at all, and most crews wouldn't even want to work with them. That's why the film is even more believable, powerful, and interesting. Here, you truly experience some scenes mainly thanks to the visuals and the overall layout.
