The plot revolves around an Angolian woman who comes to America with her teenage daughter to be reunited with her husband after an absence of 17 years only to discover they are virtually strangers and it's told from the point of view of all three of them. However, this is no grim problem picture but a surprisingly upbeat account of lives coming together and how something as simple as dance, for example, can engage people on the most basic of levels. The three central performances are outstanding as Msangi glides her cast seamlessly through the twists and turns of her characters' lives while getting in some nifty dance moves in the process. The fact that the wife and mother, (a splendid Zainab Jah), is deeply religious while her husband, (Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, equally good), has lost his religion, if he ever had any, doesn't help matters just as her fidelity and his infidelity over the years proves a major hurdle they must overcome. But, as I said, grimness is put on the back-burner and this lovely character study is all the better for it. See more Kevin L @Lakeman Jun 29, 2022 A lovely film with some fine performances. It has the well-paced, delicate touch that was needed to help bring out the authenticity and sensitivity of the subject matter. 3.2 stars See more Nov 24, 2021 Filled with tenderness and emotion, Ekwa Msangi lets us walk into the inmigrant experience and, beyond the sociopolitical transcendental themes, that strange feeling that re-encounter causes, making the audience feel all the changes happening around the charachters (brought to life by an exceptional ensamble), incluiding melancholia, nostalgia and, of course, and above all, love. See more dave d @RT34924333 Mar 15, 2021 It's a noble effort that never quite connected with me the way I had hoped. In fact, I found myself struggling to find a reason to continue with the film. It actually put me to sleep twice. So I gave it a rewatch and still it just didn't resonate. The focus wasn't there perhaps because it's a totally unrelatable for just about everyone watching. The tangents come and go as if from another film. It just didn't work for me. Final Score: 5/10 See more Read all reviews
