NAÏVE, BUT SCARY


Customs are different from culture to culture. Vaginal mutilation of the young women in African Islamic societies that represents the main subject of Senegali ”Moolaade” will come as a shock to Westerners, as well as the constant reminder of how important and difficult the fight for the rights of women was significant and hard in the past centuries.

Despite the harshness of the script layout, overall acting and depiction is somehow diminished by the naïve and unnecessary serenity of the self-taught protagonists.

”Moolaade” is one of those flicks where the subject is more important than the movie as a whole.
