Cary Darling Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sure, it's an ages-old dilemma and there are moments that feel very much like a first film. But the strong lead performance by Aml Ameen ("Sense8") lends shading and depth to Onah's story. Nov 21, 2017 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety But the complex overall themes here are dealt with in such abrupt fashion that their treatment ultimately feels superficial. Still, you can hardly indict Onah for trying to make complex themes briskly palatable. Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com Writer-director Onah, himself a Nigerian-born artist, understands Seyi through and through. His storytelling is simple but brisk and coherent. Rated: 3/4 Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Leigh Monson Substream Magazine The Price has a persistent feeling of having been here and done this, but as far as these morality plays are concerned, it's adequate. Ameen gives a strongly empathetic lead performance. Rated: 3/5 May 14, 2020 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest [The Price] marks the arrival of an exciting new filmmaker in Onah. May 12, 2020 Full Review Joshua Starnes ComingSoon.net Pointed without ever falling into stereotypes, it's a bold statement about modern immigrant life in America and not to be missed. Rated: 7.5/10 Apr 5, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
