Movie Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Duane ByrgeIn this intense twist on the American Dream, director Andrew Dosunmu vividly captures the pulsating dynamic of New York city's pan-African community, a robust aggregation that subsists amid an often hostile foreign environment.
Shockya.com - 8/10 by Brent SimonBeautiful but inert, Restless City is like a grimy lost verse of Jay-Z's 'Empire State of Mind' -- a film concerned with locating the quiet nobility in hand-to-mouth existence, and celebrating struggle for self-betterment via dollar bills, y'all.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Ann Hornaday"Restless City" possesses a poetic, contemplative sensibility as attuned to the vagrant beauty of polyglot urban life as to its chaotic unpredictability.
Boston Phoenix - 8/10 by Miles BoweRestless City looks gorgeous, but has nothing to say.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Wesley MorrisWith Dosunmu, African culture thrives in a demographically shifting but historically African-American part of town. If the idea is that Nollywood could work in Manhattan, this is the director who can show us how.
Variety - 7/10 by John AndersonPicture's visual elegance makes a limited arthouse life possible, although Nigerian-born fashion photog-turned-helmer Andrew Dosunmu is far more interested in aesthetics than narrative in erecting his visually poetic "City."
Village Voice - 7/10 by Ernest HardyTold in an elliptical style with a pacing and jagged rhythms that take some getting used to, the thrust and power of the film lies in its poetic imagery.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Chuck BowenThe script simply isn't in the same league as the images that Andrew Dosunmu and the gifted cinematographer Bradford Young have fashioned.
AALBC.com - 6/10 by Kam WilliamsForget pimps, it's apparently just as hard out there for a street peddler.
Philadelphia Daily News - 6/10 by Gary ThompsonViolent episodes explode and recede, but without context and emotional connection, they're sometimes just pictures.
