"Also, the concept of AI-generated fiction is absurd. This arrogation positions AI as creator when it is just a mesh of algorithmic permutations trained to mimic human writing."

"I felt, and still feel, that the fact that the story fails as a piece of literature should’ve been the first thing noticed by Commonwealth readers and judges."

"It’s not good when the stories shaping our lives are never about us. It’s not good when the gaze we look at our continent through is from colonial countries...The reality is that a pan-African film audience doesn’t quite exist yet."

"... attempts at giving the relationship depth sometimes lean into awkward territory, with lines feeling forced, banter resting on sentimental poetics and every moment elevated to inspire heady excitement."

"Beyond his eagerness to participate in Sol’s whims, we know too little of him. At best, we know that he’s a straightforward man because he never holds back in his proposals to her."

"There is longing in Eli’s eyes, he says it’s for Soluchi, but clearly it’s for Ghana, because how do you plan to leave the country after the first major conflict without so much as an apologetic call."

"And because of that, Eli never quite becomes someone we gradually come to understand. He remains closer to an idea of romance than a fully lived experience of it."

"I stared at it for a while. It was both funny and heart-breaking. I had written it out of desperation, and now it was proof of how far I have fallen into the banality of hope."

"Some people are meant to walk with you for a long time. They become witnesses to your life. They see the different versions of you that exist across years. They know who you were, who you’re becoming, and who you might still grow into."

"What feels like an entire movie passes before we get the answer to this mystery. But that hour of intrigue is a true cinematic feat, whose acuity is so high that it can easily trick one into misreading who is friend and who is foe."
