What we think

A celebration of this world and the love and tenderness at the centre of Shabu’s coming-of-age, one foot in both the modern Netherlands and in the ancestral practices his family have retained through the generations.

What others think

The overall effect is magical and euphoric, rather as if Jacques Demy had jazzed up La Haine.
Ryan Gilbey The Guardian
Makes for very pleasant summertime viewing.
Marina Ashioti Little White Lies
It’s the use of sound, though, that elevates the film from a well-staged documentary to something altogether more immersive.
