Murtada Elfadl Variety The Davies brothers have crafted a father of mythic proportions... Dìrísù, in a revelatory performance that should put him at the top of casting lists, grounds that fantasy with a realistically intense but quiet performance. May 19, 2025 Full Review Carlos Aguilar The Playlist ...Davies’ intensely lyrical effort...acquires emotional transcendence in its devastating final minutes. It grieves not only a single person, but a country, and the loss of what could have been to senseless violence. Rated: A May 19, 2025 Full Review Steve Pond TheWrap It’s a rhapsody of sorts, but a rough one; it examines the nuts and bolts of a family dynamic, but leaves room for mystery and is beautifully elusive. May 19, 2025 Full Review Pete Hammond Deadline Hollywood Daily [A] film that, though set in Nigeria, really could be anywhere, any family struggling to stay together against all odds. It is as relevant as it could possibly be, and Davies Jr. has given it heart and soul. May 18, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
