Featured review
Be prepared to cry seeing this!
If you feel you are not in the mood to get all the emotions on earth seeing this, then perhaps you are not ready to see this, YET!
This movie is about trauma of all sorts. A trauma that won't leave you and is following you everywhere you go.
This is a very emotional and heavy movie. Heavy in the sense that it will make you as a viewer reflect and go deep into your own emotions.
The movie is about a girl who comes from a rich background, she was born in Liberia in West Africa. She moved to the UK, then later went back to Liberia on vacation. While being in Liberia visiting her family some conflicts happened in the city. Horrible things happened while she was there. The situation forced her to flee to Greece. In Greece she became homeless.
We will see her struggles and her flashbacks of why she had to flee her country etc.
Even if we get to follow the struggles of this young woman, this will remind us of the daily struggles of all the millions of people who are refugees around the world or are homeless.
The trauma that so many carry with them.
It is very difficult to see this movie because it reminds you all the time that there are less fortunate people everywhere. You feel hopeless seeing this movie because you know this is a real-life situation of millions around the world.
Millions of people struggle and come from horrible backgrounds, and they flee their countries but the trauma will never leave them.
I feel Cynthia Erivo was born to play this role, she was perfect in this role. Well done to Cynthia for giving a voice to this role.
This movie was fantastic in a way that it showed you the reality of millions of people around the world.
Sometimes you forget these kinds of struggles exist for some people.
Seeing this makes you appreciate your own life even more.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was based on a real story. Because I feel what you will see is the daily life and struggles of millions around the world.
100% you have to see this!
