What the critics say
A strong, socially engaged premise and a good script earn praise, but reviewers agree the execution is uneven, with flat staging, weak dialogue, a wooden lead, and an overloaded, dragging back half.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 5 readings; 2 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
