Movie Reviews

Good ideas with poor execution.

We grasped several ideas from the movie, but none of them were developed with enough determination to give the characters real depth or to build a compelling plot. For instance, the old man's vision of Africa as a new Silk Road is perhaps the strongest moment of the film, yet it still lacks impact and originality. Apart from a few enjoyable musical scenes set in Cape Verde, the film ultimately offers very little.

Beautiful and Good Hearted, yet execution ends poorly

From making Waiting for Happiness and Timbuktu, Abderrahmane Sissako struggles to handle this story with characters that feel aimless and uninteresting to explore and a storyline that becomes convoluted.Undeniably a well-made production as the camerawork, production designs, costumes, and musical score is really good. The performances from the cast members are solid on it's own. The issues is that the characters unfortunately are not interesting to fully engage with, crafted with poorly written dialogue, messy tone, and directions that clearly indicates that the story doesn't fully understand where it wants to focus on.The experience of Black people in China is an interesting concept but unfortunately the movie doesn't do a good job on exploring the concepts. Alongside with some really uneven pacing that puts viewers to sleep.Disappointing.
