by

When viewing “Nawi,” it swiftly becomes apparent that two key aspects stand out. Initially, an exceptional leading role drives the narrative. Michelle Lemuya Ikeny portrays the title character, a 13-year-old longing for high school but confronted by the patriarchal norms of her community, who faces being forced into marriage for a significant livestock dowry instead.

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.
