This standup on Netflix is... hard to explain. It is sometimes boring, but when it is funny... you laugh so much! I feel like maybe I just wasn't feeling the vibe, so maybe I just didn't absorb it enough. But there were a few bits that cracked me up hard.

My favorite one was the one about how we are always so mean to our moms 😂 There is no one I love more than my mom but, as Nick says, there is no one I have a shorter fuse for than my beloved mom.

Besides that bit, there are a few other ones that are funny like the first boy-girl party and the Italy trip one, and some of them were just plain boring to me like the Karate one.

This is, no doubt, one of the greatest masterpieces of cinema I have ever seen. It's certainly not your typical entertainment-focused movie, but if you are looking for something beautiful, poetic, artistic, and innovative? This movie is for you.

The camera work, the nonlinearity of the plot, the montage, and pretty much everything else here is done with mastery.

I have recently realized that I know near to nothing about African cinema and there are many obvious and non-obvious reasons for that, but the main one is just how neglectful the Western societies have been towards African history and culture in general. It is past time we give them the spotlight they deserve. This movie and Touki-Bouki are excellent examples of such high quality cinema that certainly deserve to be in those BFI, AFI, Sight and Sound top 100 movie lists - Touki-Bouki actually made it to one of them (at the bottom).
