“Cinematographer Lílis Soares and writer-director C.J. 'Fiery' Obasi craft a breathtaking array of compositions, textures, and tones using water and beaches. Mami Wata ascends to the status of myth. Mami Wata is a work of art.“
"Obasi deftly weaves heavy political, philosophical, and theological ideas together with his keen eye for striking imagery to craft a film that feels both classical and futuristic."
