Lesotho, never heard about this country before; Sotho never knew there was such a language.
It took sometime for me to get into the film, only then I realised how deep, intense, unique and poetic is this film. There are so many elements of a perfect art house product.
A Director with a vision, a cinematographer who completely understands him, the perfect cast who did an amazing job, and all other aspects of cinematic grammar makes it an outstanding film.

Lead actress couldn't speak Sesotho
Great and engaging movie. Would give it more stars if it wasn't for the lead actress, it was clear she was not comfortable with the Sesotho language.

Mosese is Africa's most promising director, firmly putting Lesotho on the cinematic map
A visual and aural treat. Mosese is Africa's most promising director alive. He has put Lesotho on the world's quality cinema map with this film. Beautiful cinematography, casting, art direction, sound management and original scriptwriting.
