david l Mortu Nega is a very moving historical drama about the Guinea-Bissau War of Independence. While small in scale and slow in pace, the movie's emphasis on human struggle instead of war set pieces made it an emotionally powerful watch that was also elevated by excellent acting and directing. It's a very elegant, endearing movie that is particularly effective at its emotionally charged conversations. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A historical picture about the Guinnie Bassau War of independace.
