This Afrocentric musical fantasy with a multitude of themes protesting war, corporate greed, social intolerance and a host of other issues definitely has its heart in the right place, with inventive special effects and cutting-edge musical stylings.

Directors Anisia Uzeyman and Saul Williams are clearly on to something here, but they need to clean it up a bit to make the material more coherent and accessible, with writing that's on par with the superb quality of everything else this innovative release has to offer.… Expand

This movie could have been great.

If I were to stumble upon this movie on the SyFy channel on TV (because it is SyFy, experimental movie, ilk) I may or may not abandon the movie altogether.

If you’re radically on the left and uneducated, you will enjoy this movie.… Expand
