The Gravedigger’s Wife

"Not precious, but humanist, The Gravedigger's Wife is a striking first from a filmmaker and cast we should hope to see more of."

"It’s a gentle, humorous film in Africa’s quietist cinema tradition with grace notes of irony and wit."

"Charming and wistful without ever feeling maudlin, The Gravedigger's Wife is a beautiful love letter to the power of family."

"A moving, sometimes quietly biting study of a medically and financially troubled family in crisis."

"Handsome, involving and free of condescension toward its protagonists and their time-sensitive dilemma."
