3.5/5

The tone of the film is also unexpectedly lyrical -- like a fairytale, albeit grimmer than Grimm. Unrelieved horror and violence can be enervating, but this film has the benefit of truth, and a message of survival.

[A] provocative if slightly plodding movie...

Dishearteningly, Enitan's transition from lost soul to a scholar and now an artist gets shoved into the final minutes left over after all the bleakness. Akinnuoye-Agbaje's admirable life story gets reduced to its most sensational chapter.

2/5

A grimly interesting story that is sadly reduced to a cliched, tedious movie.

Farming may not be the best-executed story, but with a captivating performance by Damson Idris, nevertheless, it is still a story worth telling.

This is a film principally about self-protection and urban day-to-day survival...a low budget film in terms of finance, but not in terms of aspiration.

Difficult film for sure, but it is a true story! Great performance by the lead. Will stay with you. People giving negative reviews don't like the story, yet, it's a true story!!!
