John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Sep 18, 2019
A colorful rejection of soullessness in modern Nigerian culture. Go to Full Review Ben Flanagan Seventh Row Sep 20, 2019
Shot for maximum impact, between the lurid color, wild plot turns, and thumping, party-ready soundtrack -- The Lost Okoroshi has the potential to cross over to a wider, youth-oriented audience. Go to Full Review Courtney Small Cinema Axis Sep 12, 2019

4/5
[An] exploration of heritage, culture and folk memory, seasoned with endearing, offbeat humour and a touch of body horror. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
