You guys are being so tedious man 🙄
slylynx16, why don't you actually mention where you found that English critique you're quoting? Honestly, what a load of nonsense...🙄
Let's just take this step by step:

1# I couldn't care less about the whole damn industry or people picking at it—it’s really just a side note in the movie, and honestly, it just serves to show how much passion drives her and how much guts she actually has, you know what I mean? 😉
2# I mean, come on, the movie takes place in Africa, and we all know poverty is a reality there. So when the film shows that, the director gets accused of cheap, pathetic pandering to the audience's emotions. 😲 And if he had left it out, I guess they would have just called him an ignorant, inhuman cynic instead. 👎 What, are we supposed to play some kind of guessing game?
In the end, it all comes down to a matter of degree—where exactly does sentimentality end and real life begin?

3# At no point during the film did I lose the thread; the scene in the maternity ward was perfectly clear to me. I don't need the director to pause (for me to catch up!??🙄) or serve up extra explanations on a silver platter—I'm not some sleepy idiot (unlike this critic, apparently)
4# It's just pure stupidity 👎

5# and 6# are nothing more than attempts to "technically" bury the film, especially after they already tried to shut it down using the "mainstream" approach. Those points 5 and 6 don't mean a thing to anyone who hasn't spent at least four semesters in a film school, so they mean absolutely nothing to the vast majority of the audience—except that the critic uses them to pretend they're smarter than they actually are.
It seems the truth is that critics are often just failed, disgruntled film students. ☕

I actually crew t-shirt from the set of that movie. It’s red, and the front says "how are you"—which is what those kids in the film keep repeating—and the back has the title plus "Kenya crew" 🙂 🙂 Pretty damn cool, right?

That said, I honestly think the movie is garbage...

anyway, I think the movie is total garbage.

You're alright. You'd be even cooler if you gave that shirt to a true cinephile like me!

Gregory Garcia, honestly, any attempt at using foreign language jokes on this board is just going to end up looking pathetic.

It’s probably a good thing all these little linguistic quirks are being expressed in English,😎 🙄

I really hope you don't mind if the rest of us use some American slang or regional idioms here—please don't feel like you have to gatekeep that right just for yourself and your lovely 😉 I’m not using these expressions to be condescending or sarcastic, I promise; I just find them much more efficient for getting my point across 😉 So, let's not pretend we're all living in different worlds when we're clearly on the same page 👋
