Review of Moolaadé (2004) by Serge L — 02 Feb 2015

Very well made film with a complex and excellently well crafted narrative. We feel the struggle and the difficulty of fighting a well encroatched tradition. With little girls involved, the suspense is maintained throughout, more efficiently than any large budget feature.

Knowing that these events were depicting something real and realistically, it is even more gut wrenching. The film expose well the problematic of societal changes, by which I mean the view points of all sides are well exposed and understood.

The film was the base for increased discussions with the goal of eradicating the pratice. I hope this is accomplished now.
