Carolyn Mauricette Rue Morgue Magazine You might think the film speaks only to a specific audience and is a cultural signifier for those of Caribbean descent in Toronto, but this story is accessible to everyone for its lesson in courage and sacrifice. May 16, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

robert p I made the mistake of watching this movie, frankly, I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review adam b God awful and terribly boring. I thought the initial idea of a futuristic setting with Afro-Caribbean magic/spirituality would be cool, but it was handled like a Lifetime film. Everything looked ridiculous, no emotional impact whatsoever, it was a waste of time Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredible story telling and incorporation of old and future magic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
