Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 9/10 by Diana ClarkeLipper does an excellent job of using her film as a vehicle for the voices and concerns of Nigerians, and especially of Nigerian women, who are traditionally expected to stay at home while men operate in the public sphere. But Lipper does not limit her camera to political struggles.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranUnlike documentaries that tie things up in a tidy bow, Supreme Price wants viewers to understand that the status of democracy in Nigeria remains very much in flux.
Variety - 8/10 by Ella TaylorWith beauty, brains and dignity to burn, Hafsat Abiola inherits her mother’s mantle and offers riveting insight into the contradictions of a dynasty of reformist aristocracy.
Little White Lies - 8/10 by Sophie Monks KaufmanIt attains its power by rooting Hafsat's struggle against a crosshair of different forces, taking the time to attentively and vividly express their source. Using archive footage she tells the story of Nigeria's military political history.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn enlightening documentary on the troubles of Nigeria and the rise of a female leader who is an impresario of change.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Anita GatesJoanna Lipper’s documentary shapes one country’s recent history into an accessible and tragic family drama.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by John DeForeThough it doesn't answer every question it raises and may occasionally confuse the uninitiated, the polished film easily stirs indignation.
Time Out - 6/10 by Trevor JohnstonThis doc weaves interview and archive, making it a valuable beginner's guide to Nigeria's problems.
Guardian - 6/10 by Leslie FelperinDirector Joanna Lipper builds up a coherent, accessible account of Nigeria's otiose politics since the late 1980s, supplemented by nifty graphics, archive footage, and explicatory contributions from expert witnesses such as Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka.
Times (UK) - 6/10 by Ed PottonJoanna Lipper's documentary tells an important story that will be unfamiliar to many Westerners, although it could do with more panache in its telling.
