Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 7/10 by Stephen HoldenWhat links these three stories besides their African settings is the calm, majestic presence of Queen Latifah, who introduces each one. The rapper, singer, actress and television personality towers over the movie, a stern but benign fortress of maternal common sense and wisdom.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Owen GleibermanIt understands, in a way that speaks forcefully enough about the mechanisms of poverty to transcend the rather simplistic filmmaking.
TV Guide Magazine - 5/10 by Maitland McDonaghThe impulses that produced this project, which brings together three short, English-language films by African female filmmakers into a feature-film package introduced by rap icon Queen Latifah, are commendable, but the results are uneven.
New York Daily News - 5/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanThese after-school specials are distinctly depoliticized and seem tailored for Western audiences, so the African settings feel oddly superfluous.
New York Post - 4/10 by V.A. MusettoIt's a worthy idea, but the uninspired scripts, acting and direction never rise above the level of an after-school TV special.
