Critic Reviews

Both acidly funny and very moving.Full Review

Kevin Crust
Los Angeles Times

Wah-Wah has a sequence, based on old newsreels, in which the flag is lowered and the sun sets on another bit of the empire. Odd how many critics have felt the whole movie should be about this. I don't see why. The story is about people who lived closed lives, and a film about them would necessarily give independence only a supporting role.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Thanks to Grant's script and direction, the exotic Swaziland location (a film first) and an engaging cast, this smartly crafted drama radiates a gently comic pulse.Full Review

Wah-Wah can't sustain the mastery of its superior first hour, but it maintains a core of truth that sets it apart from less-convincing depictions of boys becoming men.Full Review

The Onion (A.V. Club)

The fascinating aspect of the rambling and involving film is how Ralph and this no-nonsense dame who married Dad become confederates.Full Review
