This is an insult to the survivors

I really wanted to like this movie but it just under delivered. The main character just wasn't able to fill the shoes she was given. Very stoic, bland and emotionless. Given the character's rich background, it's very hard to believe how she turned out in Greece! It's like she lost all her senses after the war.Do you know how many Liberians would die for the chance to flee into Greece and start a new life during that time, instead what do we see, a frightened little girl, running away from everybody and stealing food from restaurants. What happened to her life in the UK? She couldn't get to the UK Embassy, tell them what happened and fly home? Why was she running from the police? Worst case scenario, she's arrested and she's given a refugee status. So what's the point of sleeping in a cave?Totally ridiculous premise.

Heart rending

An incredible sustain African refugee story what a beautiful acting by Cynthia Erivo, the way she express her grieve and emotion made me fall in love with the story, every refugee has it own deep stories which many would never imagine .I just wish we have a little bit of her happiest moment in the film she been through alot Her revealing the weight of her devastating past make me sob and at the same time feel happy for her, This is one of the best movie I have watch this year Alia Shawkat deliver her role perfectly well also making her the darling of this film I am looking forward into reading the book.

Lacks the emotional punch it should have

Why is it lacking? The pace. This movie is sloooooow.No words are spoken for the first ten minutes. Little is said in the whole movie until the ending is revealed.Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad film by any stretch of anyone's imagination, it's just that it is slow at the start, takes its tome to reveal its real meaning.It is well made, the direction tries to tell a story by showing rather than telling. The acting is a little bereft of convincing emotion.There are more issues to do with the plot. When is this film set? The Liberian civil war was 20 years ago. How did the fisherman break his arm and leg? Where did she get all of her money?
