Sinekatalog’s take
Tunde Kelani's drama tells of a Lagos boy remembering his mother, a seamstress who raised him alone and anchored a tough neighbourhood. Warm and moving, with a fine sense of community, it is a loving, sincere tribute to a mother's strength.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
