Savage is a raw exploration of colonialism's harsh realities, following Mokonzi, a Congolese man trapped in a grotesque exhibit in London. The film's tone is somber, almost haunting, with an oppressive atmosphere that captures the weight of Mokonzi's struggles. Pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of tension to build as we witness his harrowing experiences. The practical effects, while minimal, are effective in showcasing the brutality of the era. Performances are gripping, especially the lead, who embodies both vulnerability and fierce resistance. What stands out is the film's refusal to shy away from uncomfortable truths, making it a distinctive piece that lingers long after the credits roll.
