Unbelievably striking, the Expressionist dreamscape of Mami Wata is an engrossing and opulent fable. JacobOller's Sundance2023 review:
As characters debate spirituality in West African Pidgin, and lights pop to enhance a dreamy mid-forest sequence’s bold black-and-white, you find yourself fully immersed in the mystic fable of. Stray English words and images that almost feel like they’ve been taken from a postcard, or seen flipping through the channels late at night, contribute to a film ready to wash you away into its uncanny world. Filmmaker C.J.
There’s a thumping, crashing, mesmerizing rhythm to the film, which always returns back to the waves demarcating the town’s barriers. Beyond its whitecaps are cities with hospitals. Schools. Paved roads. Iyi’s skeptics, growing in number and potency after an especially egregious-feeling tribute payment, have every right to push back. It’s a testament to Obasi’s ability with this mythmaking that their grievances feel sound.
