Guy Lodge Variety The actors, for their part, keep things effectively simple amid this agitated mise-en-scène, with Umuhire particularly powerful as she wrestles with Claudine's alternately surging feelings of anger, exasperation and abject, petrifying grief. Oct 22, 2018 Full Review Laurence Boyce Screen International The stand-out is Rwandan actress Elaine Umuhire whose combination of quiet dignity and fierce anger is mesmerising. Oct 22, 2018 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf Though it aims to cover the by-now historical events in a realistic way, and it is a worthwhile representation of an emotive subject, the Polish-produced film very much sees Africa with a European gaze. Rated: 3/5 Oct 20, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
