The Long Walk

The juxtaposition of the banal and the supernatural may draw comparisons with the work of Apichatpong Weerasethakul, but perhaps a better reference would be the heady oddness of Mati Diop’s Atlantics.

Do was marked as a filmmaker to watch. Her third effort shows maturation and improvement that supports that claim. Her unique voice and heady themes won't appeal to everyone, however.

A spellbinding tale that clings to you long after the film is over.

The film does manage its fair share of surprises for those who are willing to stick it out through the ponderous and cryptic narrative; Do’s film builds to an emotional explosion with fifty-year-spanning fuse.
