Masya, a former advertising art director and conceptual video artist, selects an appropriate scale for his indie drama, concentrating his cast at a single location that has sufficient variety to avoid too much visual repetition.

Kati Kati is remarkable for the amount of its achievement in such a limited runtime.

The intimate nature of the world building in the film, where everything including the food on your plate has a time limit, is wonderful.

Kati Kati is a film that draws on tradition (Nollywood, Senegalese counter-cinema, faith-based films) without falling into the stylistic or genre traps of any of those approaches.

Whatever reference points can be found in Masya's work, the work itself still feels like an original, vibrant and exciting statement from a talented filmmaker who clearly has much more to say.

4/4

The film's overall mythology is unique, with enough blind spots that focusing on chewing a piece of popcorn feels disruptive.

I am deeply impressed. It is a most unusual take on life after death. The movie held my attention. I was totally absorbed. I could watch it again. Bravo!
