Just when it seems as if there are no new worlds for cinema to explore, a movie like "Mother of George" comes along to prove otherwise.
November 21, 2013
It takes about 60 seconds before the elegant "Mother of George" has you firmly inside the world it has created.
October 09, 2013
The joy is in the detail of Dosunmu's film, the nuance of a relationship as richly complex as the African print dresses that Adenike favours.

The whole cast is good, but the film wouldn't work without a great performance from Gurira, who is of Zimbabwean descent.

It's a beautiful and heartbreaking film.
March 24, 2014
Has the advantage of novelty and authenticity, but Dosunmu's ellipitical and self-consciously tasteful approach robs the material of some of its power...
November 22, 2013
After a while it's hard to take Dosunmu's barrage of off-center compositions ... dialogue sequences that have the actor converse with empty space, and close-ups that reduce faces and objects to blobs of light.
October 18, 2013
In the end, "George" becomes almost as irritating as that mother-in-law.
November 25, 2013
There is a lot of wisdom in this film. There is strength in the old traditions, and error, too. In America, many people don't have these old traditions to guide them. They are something to hold onto, and that is a comfort.
October 24, 2013
Serious cinema of the globalist sort.

An engaging immigrant drama of the traditional Nigerian experience in NYC.
October 17, 2013
It's a powerfully sensual movie, gorgeously lensed colors and textures conveying its characters emotional states while thoughtfully exploring the range of human sexuality through Adenike's experience.
