Carla L 08/01/2023 This was a very moving film. It brought tears to my eyes, something that hasn't happened because of a movie, in quite some time. It was also nice to see a film filled with compassionate and loving people. See more Natalia R 07/26/2023 Perfect movie: excellent directing, acting, script, music, photography. I don't understand how it hasn't become more popular or more awarded. I coincidentally, met Maïmouna Doucouré (director) a couple of times in the bathroom of the theater "Hawa" was premiering in US--at the American French Film Festival in LA. What a class act she is. Maïmouna is humble, talented and exudes great serenity. I told her Hawa should be nominated for an Oscar.

The narrative is about the eponymous Hawa and her determination to be adopted by Michelle Obama, going through highs and lows to be in good hands as her terminally ill grandmother is dying. Sania Halifa was amazing as Hawa, and it is stupendous that this is her first acting gig. This film further proves that Maimouna Doucoure is an amazing director and storyteller, and that the success of her first film, "Cuties," was no accident. I am so happy for Maimouna Doucoure who didn't let the despicable detractors spreading misinformation about her or the ridiculous controversy of her first film discourage from continuing to create a compelling and compassionate narrative. Bravo, Ms. Doucoure for standing your ground and for vicariously inspiring others to pursue their dreams! See more Read all reviews
