Eye for Film

Benrath does an excellent job of building tension in double-quick time, also finding room for other, less easily evoked emotions, such as regret and doubt.

Rated: 4/5

Watu Wote (All of Us) is a beautiful film showing the tragic devolution of religion as a set of guiding principles.

German director Katja Benrath effortlessly builds tension and honors Farah without having her film descending into a sermon.
