Cary Darling Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com 11/21/2017
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. Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey Variety 11/10/2017
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. Go to Full Review

Writer-director Onah, himself a Nigerian-born artist, understands Seyi through and through. His storytelling is simple but brisk and coherent. Go to Full Review

[The Price] marks the arrival of an exciting new filmmaker in Onah. Go to Full Review
