@ MoMA (Best Films Not Playing at a Theater Near You)
A Nigerian man causes a disturbance when he returns to the United States to visit his estranged American wife and kids for his youngest son's college graduation party, though ulterior motives are revealed. All handheld camerawork, mostly in close-up, the film feels claustrophobic as it seems the members of this family can't escape each other; it's all shot in and around the house where Olabisi grew up.
