This is just wonderful, but you have to stick with it because it's coming from a bit of a sideways place.

What might have worked in theater doesn't translate here, particularly the repetition of words and phrases that feel true to the original medium but grate here on screen.

Cinema Crazed

My Name Is Myeisha is a well told tale, a great concept of spoken words matched to images that works so well.

Rated: 4.5/5

Cinemalogue

Beneath its song-and-dance exterior, this quietly perceptive coming-of-age saga carries a powerful subtext.

Cinema Axis

Giving a voice to the victims who can no longer speak for themselves, the film is a mesmerizing mix of drama, music, dreamlike atmosphere and biting social commentary.

Rated: A-

This movie would have been a great platform to tell the tragic story of a young woman killed by police yet it was a poorly constructed incredibly long rap video.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
