      Brian K A slow experiential movie, that comes across as a documentary, without any plot to speak of, but captures something special about Jamaican daily life in subtle ways. Worthwhile, if you are patient and don't expect much of a plot. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com Wilson and Roberts make a convincing and loving family. The camerawork seems invisible. A pop-reggae musical soundtrack will lift your heart. Rated: 3/4 Sep 28, 2022 Full Review Drew Gregory Autostraddle It’s a beautiful, emotional film that always leads with love — not the kind of love found in cliches, but a truer, selfless love.
