This movie was interesting to me because of the insights it gave me into senegalese culture and society and was carried well by the leading actress and supporting actors. There isn't a performance that I didn't appreciate.
The cinematography was beautiful throughout and the atmosphere necessary to let shine the mystical elements in the plot was well created in both image and sound.
Now the slight but: Sometimes the film felt a bit too slow. In my opinion it was part because of the structure of the plot and part because of the choice to create poetic segments with shots of the sea. There is a feeling of emptiness that fits the main character's experience, but I don't know, I guess I have problems with the execution of realizing that feeling somewhere.
I also don't like the ending.
