There are a couple of shaky performances, clunky dialogue here and there, and some of the subplots feel a bit half-baked, but overall, the film succeeds in presenting a relationship and a situation that feels real, even if some people in Kenya don't want it to be.

I also enjoyed Jimmy Gathu as Kenas surprisingly supportive father, and Patricia Amira as Zikis mother, a woman who believes that she can fix her daughter.
