Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Garry A I was in tears by the end of the movie. The husband and wife reuniting after 17 years apart looked realistically difficult to find common ground. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/25 Full Review Audience Member "Farewell Amor" is director Ekwa Msangi's feature film debut but you would never guess it as this remarkable film feels like the work of someone who has been making films for years. The plot revolves around an Angolian woman who comes to America with her teenage daughter to be reunited with her husband after an absence of 17 years only to discover they are virtually strangers and it's told from the point of view of all three of them. However, this is no grim problem picture but a surprisingly upbeat account of lives coming together and how something as simple as dance, for example, can engage people on the most basic of levels. The three central performances are outstanding as Msangi glides her cast seamlessly through the twists and turns of her characters' lives while getting in some nifty dance moves in the process. The fact that the wife and mother, (a splendid Zainab Jah), is deeply religious while her husband, (Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, equally good), has lost his religion, if he ever had any, doesn't help matters just as her fidelity and his infidelity over the years proves a major hurdle they must overcome. But, as I said, grimness is put on the back-burner and this lovely character study is all the better for it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member A lovely film with some fine performances. It has the well-paced, delicate touch that was needed to help bring out the authenticity and sensitivity of the subject matter. 3.2 stars Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Filled with tenderness and emotion, Ekwa Msangi lets us walk into the inmigrant experience and, beyond the sociopolitical transcendental themes, that strange feeling that re-encounter causes, making the audience feel all the changes happening around the charachters (brought to life by an exceptional ensamble), incluiding melancholia, nostalgia and, of course, and above all, love. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review tony h This movie truly has much deeper insight to offer than its basic subject-matter. It shows the characters of real people. It shows how real people have to deal with things, especially when things are not so good all around, especially when things are simply dreadful all around.
