Featured review
Lacks the emotional punch it should have
Why is it lacking? The pace. This movie is sloooooow.
No words are spoken for the first ten minutes. Little is said in the whole movie until the ending is revealed.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad film by any stretch of anyone's imagination, it's just that it is slow at the start, takes its tome to reveal its real meaning.
It is well made, the direction tries to tell a story by showing rather than telling. The acting is a little bereft of convincing emotion.
There are more issues to do with the plot. When is this film set? The Liberian civil war was 20 years ago. How did the fisherman break his arm and leg? Where did she get all of her money?
