Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Mr. Dosunmu seems to have directed all his actors to pause before delivering lines, giving a languor to the film that comes to feel studied.
Rotten: In its portrait of a "Restless City" the film is strangely inert and feels like the work of image-makers, not storytellers.
Fresh: Told in an elliptical style with a pacing and jagged rhythms that take some getting used to, the thrust and power of the film lies in its poetic imagery...
Fresh: "Restless City" is tumescent with atmosphere.
