In Abderrahmane Sissako's latest film, the acclaimed director explores the complexities of love through the story of Aya, a young woman who hesitates to marry her fiancé due to doubts about their future. The narrative begins with promise but meanders into an array of subplots that distract from the core theme. Sissako's expertise in storytelling is evident, yet the film ultimately becomes overwhelmed, failing to maintain the emotional depth that makes his previous works, like 'Timbuktu' and 'Bamako,' resonate with audiences.
The film starts with a vibrant scene depicting Aya's inner conflict at her wedding, showcasing the complexities of love and personal freedom in a distracting narrative.
Sissako's film offers a modern international fable that, despite its ambitious premise, becomes bogged down by unnecessary subplots that dilute its emotional impact.
