Chris B @Cgbarlow 4d Most inspiring movie ever. My 13 year old son said if this African Tony Stark can make a windmill from a bike and a broken battery from the junk yard then with all his privilege he should be able to make something with dark matter.

The landscape of Africa shown on the screen is brutal but real, during all these bad things a genius grewn up. Film is very good. See more Leaburn O May 20 Ultimately an uplifting tale and a ridiculously impressive real life accomplishment. Watched on Netflix. See more Jonathan K @aFIREintheattic 01/11/2025 The story is really remarkable -- and what's even more amazing is that it's true. The acting is high quality, particularly by the female leads, with some really solid performances that help drive the emotional weight of the story. However, things do slow down a bit toward the end. On top of that, the cinematography is pretty lacking. The shots feel cheap, like something you'd expect from a made-for-TV movie or a low-budget show. But honestly, that doesn’t take away from the film too much. At the end of the day, it’s still a moving story and a snapshot of the unbelievable hardship of famine. See more Read all reviews
