( Showing 1-8 of 8 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted z-a )   "Otto-Sallies has a real filmmaker's eye." -- David Noh, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL   "The impulses that produced this project ... are commendable, but the results are uneven." -- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE   "Each story is built on a potentially interesting idea, but the first two are ruined by amateurish writing and acting, while the third feels limited by its short running time." -- Justin Hartung, CITYSEARCH   "Well-intentioned though it may be, its soap-opera morality tales have the antiseptic, preprogrammed feel of an after-school special." -- Marshall Fine, JOURNAL NEWS --  Click to read the article. -- Wilson Morales, BLACKFILM.COM Cream of the Crop FRESH 75%   "Mama Africa pretty much delivers on that promise. It does give you a peek. The main problem being that it's only a peek." -- Gene Seymour, NEWSDAY   "A worthy idea, but the uninspired scripts, acting and direction never rise above the level of an after-school TV special." -- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST   "The warnings to resist temptation in this film ... are blunt and challenging and offer no easy rewards for staying clean." -- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES   "It understands, in a way that speaks forcefully enough about the mechanisms of poverty to transcend the rather simplistic filmmaking." -- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
