Really gripping movie, eye-opening to see what those boys experienced and what I'm guessing a lot of people have experienced in real life.

At the beginning, the screenplay seems like a checklist of common places on the immigration journeys from Africa (abuse, deception, danger...), however driven by energetic direction, which places the characters in spaces that makes them small. But it's impossible not to be moved by a powerful third act that doesn't need speeches or dialogues to show the desperation, uncertainty and anxiety to reach the dream destination. Although it has tics of the Westernized view of African emigration, the film stands out for its great emotional force.

There is nothing wrong with this film, but it mostly felt like watching an educational movie without artistic value. The two protagonists are mere tokens in service of the message, and we barely get to learn anything about them as individuals. I also found the two “dreamy” sequences a little forced, as if Garrone wanted to remind his audience that he is an “auteur”. The first one, in particular, was quite terrible.

People fleeing war and oppression are very likely to be granted asylum or at least subsidiary protection, but they must still endure the perilous journey to Europe. Only after surviving traffickers, slave trad More

At times this is a really quite harrowing film to watch as we follow two cousins "Seydou" (Seydou Sarr) and "Moussa" (Moustapha Fall) on one hell of a journey. They are still going to school in Dakar, but have secretly dreamed of heading to Europe. The work hard in their spare time, and try to keep More

Movies about the flood of new immigrants into Europe from Africa and the Middle East have been growing in number in recent years. Depictions of the many hardships these individuals face (sometimes graphic and disturbing in nature) have been making their way into the cinematic community, showing exac More
