The film ... transcends its familiar "career vs. home obligations" conflict.

Village Voice
This low-key, engaging feature from Kelly Daniela Norris and T.W. Pittman, shown in last year's New Directors/New Films series, allows its setting to become a major character - and in this case, that's enough.

Rating: 3/4 --
Nakom depicts a culture rarely ever shown on screen, and yet Iddrisu's struggle to move forward without betraying his upbringing reflects feelings that are unmistakably universal.

Slant Magazine
A cast of non-actors acquits itself very nicely here, and the nature of the shoot -- in which locals played key roles in the low-budget production -- make the film's polish all the more impressive.

Rating: 3/4 --
Cast largely with non-actors, Jacob Ayanaba carries this film masterfully, with Ghana's natural beauty standing out in every scene.

Sadly, much of this is underserved by a script equally overplotted and underwritten.
