Ultimately Every Day in Kaimuki is a humble piece. For anyone who has left home behind in search of themselves and a place to belong, Tegan weaves a familiar story that is quietly vulnerable and unconventionally nostalgic.

Rated: 3/5

Eye for Film

The slowburn nature of this won't be for everyone but there's a warm ebb and flow to Tengan's snapshot of a life in flux.

Rated: 3.5/5

Every Day in Kaimukī's narrative can sometimes feel a little too pointed ... but it's balanced out by Tengan's feel for mood.

Alika Tengan displays talent but the creative vibrancy lays dormant, as if waiting to be unleashed across the sea.
