So, 'I Had to Bury Cucu' is a really heavy drama that digs deep into the psyche of these two brothers, Geoffrey and Kimanthi. They're on this grim journey to Shimoni for their grandmother's burial, but it’s not just about the physical travel; it’s about confronting past trauma, specifically the man who hurt them years ago. The tone is somber; you really feel the weight of their emotional burden throughout. The pacing might feel slow for some, but it’s deliberate—building tension and dread as they approach their destination. The performances of the young actors are surprisingly raw and genuine. There’s a stark realism to the film, capturing not just the landscape but the internal scars they carry. It definitely captures a unique perspective on trauma and resilience.
