Reviews
A lyrical ode to finding a kindred spirit amidst an uncaring majority.
Odie Henderson, RogerEbert.com
For its formal simplicity and directness, "Rafiki" is a small revelation, not least because it marks the breakthrough of a filmmaker of such exhilarating, cheerfully courageous vision.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Writer-director Wanuri Kahiu's coming-of-age drama represents a milestone for African filmmakers as the vibrant love story celebrates LGBTQ themes with a sense of celebration and fun despite the conservative views of her native country.
