Leave your thoughts about Wah-Wah.
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussA perfectly respectable filmmaking debut, Wah-Wah simply leaves us feeling that there could have been more to the story. |
| About.comMarcy DermanskyWah-Wah is guilty of numerous crimes: sweeping theme music, meaningful close-ups, endless sunsets, a boatload of quirky supporting characters who fail to entertain. |
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerGrant is an impressively assured filmmaker, especially for a first-timer. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustGrant opens up his life, not with embarrassment or explanation but with humanity and gratitude. Emotional, melodramatic and sentimental, the film unabashedly wears its heart on its sleeve, and is the better for it. |
| Newark Star-LedgerLisa RoseThe film plays like a scattered collection of memories rather than a straight story. The emotional and political aspects of the movie never converge to make a point. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula NechakThe film is so well acted -- by Byrne, who makes Harry's internalized agonies and continuously carried torch for his ex-wife touching, and by Watson and Hoult -- that its more cloying moments, including a staged version of the musical "Camelot" (which is too long), are a moot point. |
| Empire MagazineDavid HughesAn unforced, engaging and surprisingly incisive account of the disintegration of British rule in Africa. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldThe actors give it a spark, and Grant directs his fine cast with sureness. |
| Sympatico.caAngela BaldassarreThe film "Wah-Wah" comes across as contrived and artificial. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansThe lush African setting sets this coming-of-age saga apart - it's too bad Grant didn't use it for more than picture-postcard backdrops. |
