Our film critic Kelvin Kariuki ranks the six short films from Netflix's 'African Folktales Reimagined' collection.
'Married to Work' is the latest Pan-African title on Netflix that leaves your memory as quickly as it enters it.
Even the drawbacks of the film feel like an intentional choice to avoid the voices of adults from diluting what is simply a story of a boy.
Sacrificing plot for beauty, 'Disconnect 2' chooses to simple not care for story at all.
Even with all the raw materials for a powerful emotional story, 'Christmas Love' feels underwhelming.
'A Familiar Christmas' is simple enough to allow a family to glide in and out in the middle of watching it instead of worrying about the plot.
'No Simple Way Home' feels like what happens when true filmmakers seek out genuine stories and end up finding them rather easily close to home.
'Villains in the Metropolis' is a crime thriller by definition only as it largely fails to grasp the genre in its entire concept.
'Terastorm' doesn’t feel ready for a release, let alone as Kenya's submission for Best International Feature to the 95th edition of the Oscar.
'Nafsi' starts off as a truly warm story about friendship before it evolves into a dark tale of double cross without feeling like two movies.
