A colorful rejection of soullessness in modern Nigerian culture.

Fully out of the box and experimental...I love how it told its story about spirituality, with a bit of uniqueness to it.

Seventh Row

Shot for maximum impact, between the lurid color, wild plot turns, and thumping, party-ready soundtrack -- The Lost Okoroshi has the potential to cross over to a wider, youth-oriented audience.

The Lost Okoroshi is an enchanting film that solidifies Makama as a unique cinematic voice.

Rated: B+

The Lost Okoroshi refuses to hold open the door for audiences unfamiliar with Nigerian culture or Igbo mythology, and it's all the better for it.

Brendan Boyle

Cinema Scope

This scene, as well as early montages of Raymond's dreams, suggest a film dominated by music and dance, but The Lost Okoroshi ultimately becomes a stranger and more ambivalent vision with every accumulated image and incident.
