Though the film deals in tragedy, its sheer cinematic exuberance is immensely hopeful.

The sonic achievement and innovative cinematography coupled with the Afrofuturistic tale of the power of a young girl's love make The Burial of Kojo an undeniably decadent and refreshing transformation of African cinema.

[A] visionary fable drenched with vibrancy and lyricism.

This is a lush and beautiful film, filled with dazzling images drawn as much from magical realism as from the setting itself.
