Leave your thoughts about Nairobi Half Life.
| User ReviewJohn KWatched it time and again and I am yet to get bored. So goooood. |
| User ReviewCharles MJust finished watching the Movie 'Nairobi Half Life", and wow. Here is my take. Never have I left a movie theater with such a feeling of pride and also great satisfaction (you would have thought I was in the movie lol) Not only is the script brilliant, the actors are brilliant as well especially Mwas the Otesh (kudos to Mugambi Nthiga for some great acting and Michael Wanderi the policeman.) The Directing is top notch, the editing amazing, the lighting great but above all the story is poignant, unflinching, real and hits home especially if you have ever lived in Nairobi. I can't wait for it to get to DVD, or better still we hope some networks here in the US like HBO can carry it. Thank you all the organizers that brought it back to DFW again. On a side note, I really hope our new leaders watch it too and see the other side of Nairobi that sometimes the majority of Kenyans sometimes find themselves in. |
| User ReviewMahmudul HPretty good. Takes you through the hassle n bustle of being a young upcoming dude in a young country. The section in Central Police Station was however too graphical. Thumbs up though. |
| User ReviewKatie GA great crime film with a vibe similar to "City of God", and with beautiful cinematography and editing that you don't see too often in African films. |
| User ReviewGeophrey GWe think our big cities are rough...I wouldn't last an hour in Nairobi if this portrayal is accurate! |
| User ReviewSitinga KThis movie played at the New African Film has festival in Washington D.C. It was a great movie and seemed really 'authentic'. The movies plot has a surprise ending and the message in the movie is purposeful. It is worth watching and I hope to see more movies from this director! |
| User ReviewKeishamaza RA brilliant and very real - at times shocking - glimpse into Nairobi's criminal underclass. Turns many stereotypes on their heads. Chock-full of emotional highs and lows and some of the most beautiful smiles I've ever seen in a film. Not just good for African standards, this is a bloody good film! |
| User ReviewCharles GReal, gritty and gripping, a story of hope and hopelessness on the streets of Nairobi |
