First two acts are one of my favorite dark comedies of the year -- third act is one of the most moving tragedies of '17, and the final few scenes are spectacularly surreal; thesocial satire that 2017 needed.
Your telling me this was done by a first time director!?! Honestly this is a sad sharp beautifully shot film that wraps you in this crazy sad story that never had me not enveloped with the material. It's shocking and engaging while having it's anchor drag the morose floor as she is tethered to the whims of these "government" officials that exploit her for monetary gain. Maggie Mulubwa(Shula) is a talent as she oozes tragic sadness in loss of childhood and self autonomy with the forces around her demanding a performance she never wanted to give. Visually stunning, smartly engaging and very propensive. If you can handle sadness this will reward you with a dynamic storytelling of a tragic life. Have fun!
