There is a good story being told, there are good actors, there is a good director! Obviously, the final work is not what is expected of a film that will be in Cannes or other fancy festivals! The movie delivers what is expected of a really very limited budget movie that took years to complete. It also must be analyzed from the perspective of the significance it has for the development of the country's film industry. It is not simple or easy to become a filmmaker and develop a movie in a poor and resourceless country! It's very funny when people with limited vision and precarious ability to analyze reality, watch an African film, built on a very low budget, and expect to find Hollywood quality! Lol! Last week, I watched a movie from Mozambique (Resgate). I hope netflix will make more African films available very soon. Go on guys

When you make a movie, you need to understand that you're telling a story. So, dialogue and narrative are extremely important. With that said, this is by far the worst dialogue I've seen in the past few years; I'm Angolan and I couldn't finish watching this movie.

A movie can also be a portrayal of a society. This movie also failed at that. That is not how Angolan people talk, move or act. So, what is your movie trying to accomplish really?

Now, moving forward, look to Brazillians as an example. They focus on character development and story (City of God, Tropa de Elite, etc). Focus on THAT!

Not the best movie but not the worse also! Hope next one will be bettwr!

Although the characters are wanting and the action scenes not as well executed, the film is a phenomenal trial and a bold move towards this particular genre.

In overall I liked the movie. It was made in a low budget and it is one of first movies of its category. You're not supposed to be comparing it with multimillion dollar budget Hollywood movies. Moreover, as someone stated below, Angola does not finance nor have degrees in cinema. I am proud of this project and eager to watch the sequence. Come on, the first Angolan movie in Netflix!! It's not perfect, it has several errors of continuation and there's something missing in the argument. But it was a very good effort and Team should be proud and feel accomplished! A beautiful day to be an Angolan woman!
