Wish You Were Here (But With a Plot) - Djon Africa review by griggs
Djon Africa is a vibrant and visually rich film—sun-drenched, full of colour, and alive with the rhythm of Cabo Verde. The protagonist, a charming rogue with a soft centre, sets out on a gentle Odyssean quest to find his father. It’s good fun and refreshingly unpretentious, but it badly drags. Too much time is spent on scenic detours that feel more like a tourist board advert than a narrative. With a bit more structure and drive, it couldn’t soars.
