An intermittently entertaining but ultimately facile ethnographic portrait.

This is an engaging movie depicting some sympathetic people, and is ultimately worthwhile.

2.5/4

The film's nagging representational problem stems from its reductive sense of place and portraiture of emotional displacement, which gradually phases out the possibility of thornier revelations.

I fear not enough attention is given to issues concerning the exploitation of a marginalized culture, especially when the film itself may be perpetuating a simplistic view of how the Ju/'Hoansi really live and see the world.

5.75/10

Mildly engaging, but not nearly as powerful or illuminating as Lost Boys of Sudan.

Documentary about the "Bushmen" of Namibia gets up close and personal but never connects to its subject.
