Jennie Punter Globe and Mail Rated: 3/4 Sep 14, 2010 Full Review Liam Lacey Globe and Mail This risky, rewarding drama blends emotional naturalism with a formal style in the story of its three titular characters -- a young Jamaican-Canadian mother with sickle-cell anemia, an ex-boxer looking for a human connection and a 12-year-old boy. Rated: 3/4 Feb 6, 2009 Full Review Jason Anderson Toronto Star Strong performances and striking cinematography help this first film by Toronto's Charles Officer move with more grace than its heavy-going storyline would have normally allowed. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 6, 2009 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews A well intentioned but pervasively uneven piece of work... Rated: 2/4 Nov 9, 2010 Full Review Liz Braun Jam! Movies The film is carried completely by the performances; the nurse and the fighter exchange few words, for example, but their mutual attraction is conveyed perfectly by the actors. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 6, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Amazing movie I love it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/21 Full Review Audience Member Wonderful movie Beautiful Great movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/20 Full Review Audience Member A beautiful emotional experience more than a film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member this film has good intentions to become a better film but it was to prentious and boring despite the talented cast it had to offer Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Between a 6/10 and 7/10, the puzzlingly punctuated title is a tip-off that characters here are to be taken with several grains of mythopoeic salt. In the end, things wind down in an overly conventional way. But taken on the level of urban fable, though, the movie is a satisfyingly soulful exploration of the African diaspora and its beautiful discontents. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member a powerful canadian film about hope, promise and redemption Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
