Desperate to send money to her family back in Haiti, hardworking and exhausted nurse Ludi Alcidor spends a chaotic day battling coworkers, clients and an impatient bus driver as she chases the American dream in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood.

While Mompelier's fortitude is a strong emotional core for this story, the filmmaking and supporting performances are too rough around the edges.

Jean's "Ludi" is the type of low-stakes drama that's easy to root for, and even more wonderful to see.

Rated: B-

Ludi’s run time only allows for so much plot. Still, Jean manages to stuff it to the brim with heart.

Cinemalogue

Rough around the edges yet resonating with gritty authenticity, this character-driven drama offers an immersive glimpse into Miami’s blue-collar Little Haiti neighborhood.

Much of the reason that Ludi soars is the intuitive, full-bodied performance of Shein Mompremier.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Apart from the small issue of the film feeling longer than its 79 minutes runtime, due to slightly uneven pacing, Ludi is a very enjoyable film that immigrants and people of Caribbean heritage will relate to.

Rated: 7.5/10
