The CinePearl Take
Jack'enneth Opukeme’s direction is unflinchingly honest, letting the city’s pulse dictate the film’s tempo. The breakout performance by the lead—an unknown talent—anchors the story with a haunting vulnerability that lingers long after the credits. While the pacing sometimes drags, it serves the deliberate, character‑driven narrative, allowing the thematic tension between hope and hardship to breathe.
