‘Nawi’ Review: Four Kenyan Filmmakers Collaborate on an Earnest Social Message Movie About Child Marriage

When viewing “Nawi,” it swiftly becomes apparent that two key aspects stand out. Initially, an exceptional leading role drives the narrative.

Their dedication to this political statement unfortunately overshadows the film’s cinematic appeal and entertainment value. Consequently, the four co-directors neglect to provide their lead actress with the stage she needs to shine in accordance with her strong performance.
