TOMATOMETER
Lesotho-born director Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese shoots his film as a kind of living legend, with a mix of warm-hued tableaus and hillside portraits in defiance.
New York Times
4 stars out of 4 -- [A] searing epitaph for Mary Twala, a veteran performer at the peak of her absorbing presence. And it is a radical international breakthrough for Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese...
RogerEbert.com
Toggling between earthy naturalism and suspended dream atmospherics as fluently as its life-weary 80-year-old protagonist skims the real and spiritual realms, it’s the kind of myth-rooted, avant-garde Southern African storytelling that rarely cracks the international festival circuit.
Variety
Maintaining that opening link to oral storytelling traditions, Mosese frequently strips out dialogue in favor of Makhetha’s narration and a richly layered soundscape.

Product Description:
After Mantoa's (Mary Twala Mhlongo) last remaining relative—her son—dies in a mining accident in South Africa, she begins to feel indifferent about the idea of dying. The 80-year-old then begins to arrange her own funeral, ultimately wanting to be buried in the village graveyard with her family. When she hears that a dam will soon be erected in their place, which will then result in all of them being forcefully relocated to the city, she vows to stop it with all her might. Written and directed by Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese.
