Mami Wata | Ratings & Reviews

Tender and surprising

Part family drama, part fable, with a dash of action movie for good measure, Mami Wata lures you in with its gorgeous black and white imagery, then unfurls a plot that’s tender and surprising. This finely tuned balance between contemplative and propulsive grows more mythic and moving as it goes.
