Amazing Emotionally Powerful Film

Warning: Spoilers
Just finished watching this film.

Although there have been films with similar themes, this film offered something different.

Femi left the comfort of a foster home, where he was loved and valued to go live with his biological mother who abuses and degrades him. Childhood innocence ripped apart, Femi does what many kids do, he transitions into toeing the line of violence.

This movie is an amazing coming of age story. Delaing with isolation, violence, a toxic home life, and trying to find your identity through it all and not we swallowed by temptation or hatred.

The last half hour was beautiful. Femi discovers his legacy and find truth in who he wants to be and finally understands his mother. Going home brings clarity and this movie is a beautiful representation of finding self, home, and love.
