OTIFresh·4.5/5

On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (2024)(2024)

“On Becoming a Guinea Fowl peels back layers of silence, shame, and appearances with sharp wit and purpose. A bold, complex film that demands discussion long after it ends.”

“My Father’s Shadow is Akinola Davies Jr.’s tender, atmospheric debut that captures the messiness of family, memory, and belonging with beautiful visuals and powerful performances.”

OTIFresh·3.5/5

Slanted (2025)(2025)

“Slanted blends satire, horror, and comedy to explore identity and belonging with bite and wit. It’s sharp, personal, and a reminder that these struggles aren’t unique.”

OTIFresh·4/5

Mistress Dispeller (2024)(2024)

“Mistress Dispeller offers a striking, fly-on-the-wall intimacy that unfolds with quiet tension and care. It’s a revealing portrait of love, betrayal, and the delicate lines in between.”

Project Greenlight: A New Generation: Season 1 (2023)(2023)

“As a film lover I loved the opportunity to learn just how much is involved in being a director. Sheds light on the importance of owning and telling different stories but also keeps it frustratingly entertaining for the audience.”

Project Greenlight: A New Generation: Season 1 (2023)(2023)

Young Love: Season 1 (2023)(2023)

“There aren’t many shows with a young audience that doesn’t talk down or water down issues and dialogue. Young Love will find its way into your hearts with its assured pen and dynamic performances.”

Top Boy: Season 1 (2011)(2011)

“Summerhouse contributes to a popular genre from a unique lens, being set in North London. Beyond the want for rich storytelling, the earnest performances are the heart of Top Boy.”

OTIFresh·4/5

Top Boy: Season 1 (2011)(2011)

“Summerhouse presents commendable performances and intricately crafted characters. While not entirely indelible, the depth of its characters adds to its compelling nature.”

KTFresh·3.5/5

Top Boy: Season 5 (2023)(2023)

“The legacy of Top Boy is distilled through the lives and experiences of those in front of the screen. It wasn’t easy to build off a shaky foundation but the most memorable moments will solidify Top Boy’s cultural relevance.”

OTIFresh·3.5/5

Top Boy: Season 5 (2023)(2023)

“Top Boy's final season provides closure amidst intense, somewhat unwarranted sequences. The accelerated narrative tempo, unfortunately, truncates certain story arcs, culminating in a finale that's near poignant yet lacks complete satisfaction.”
