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.

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.

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

Rated: 3/4

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

[The Price] marks the arrival of an exciting new filmmaker in Onah.

Pointed without ever falling into stereotypes, it's a bold statement about modern immigrant life in America and not to be missed.

I wish we got more films like this about the black experience that wasn't about gangs or living in the projects. Loved it!
