FILM REVIEWS

'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.

Every second of the film feels woven with a care and tenderness that exalts it as a phenomenal piece of visual art.

The constant overbearing and jamming down the entire film with many half-baked themes, gives it a very watered down feel.

A few quirky moments here and there, a few interesting shots, but ultimately 'Look Both Ways' is a very tame and harmless film.

'Nairobby', like a good magical act of tying oneself down and letting the unwrapping be the entertainment, is an interesting but daunting watch.

'Rising Son' struggles to coalesce into a cogent, persuasive wholeness, as if distracted by its many detours and ideas.

While packed with noble intentions, Kenyan film 'Chaguo' falls short of creating a memorable political drama.
