FILM REVIEWS

'An Instant Dad' earns its laughst and heart, and even those without a penchant for sentimentality might find themselves shedding a tear or two.

As the first Nigerian title to rank number one globally on Netflix, this film is a triumph for Nollywood, and for Africa, despite its flaws.

A wonderfully made documentary about a rather questionable experiment conducted in a small rural village in Western Kenya.

This film would be more impactful if it didn't push its evangelical agenda at the expense of the Luo culture it's set in.

In this ZIFF Best Feature winner, an elderly widower struggles to hold onto his fading memories as those close to him scheme for his land.

'The Caller' is the kind of movie with all the right technical ingredients and an easily digestible plot worth every minute of a casual evening.

Films like this not only stir up conversations on taboo topics, they also raise the question of humanity and what little is left.

A mafia film strongly rooted in the Nigerian climate that doesn't try to reinvent itself like every gangster flick post-The Godfather.

'Safari' is a tear-jerking tale that embraces simple virtues that seem to have been forgotten by modern cinema and the modern world.

'Neptune Frost' feels like it's set at the right time, in not just human history but African history too.
