Jessica Beshir's striking feature-length debut, is constructed in such a way that it seems you are watching it "in your mind," an inner space where the images have powerful and symbolic resonance, as happens in dreams. - Roger Ebert

 

A is a Hallucinatory, striking, black and white hybrid docu-drama about Ethiopia’s Most Lucrative Cash Crop. - Indiewire
