Mother of George, a film emblematic of a “new renaissance moment for American black cinema” (Village Voice) is set against the backdrop of Brooklyn's Yoruba Nigerian community. A joyful wedding celebration (filmed with an attention to color and costume on par with a Bollywood film) unites Ayodele (Jim Jarmusch favorite Isaach De Bankolé) and Adenike (Danai Gurira, The Walking Dead), but divisions begin to appear when the couple is unable to conceive a child. Aided by the hypnotic, ever-hovering camerawork of the award-winning Bradley Young (Pariah), the Nigerian-born fashion photographer Dosunmu (Restless City) creates one of the most successful American indies of the year, a portrait of a vibrant community split between old worlds and new, the homeland and Brooklyn. Lingering on the colors that saturate the community-whether the rich oranges and blues of the characters' traditional clothes, or the painted hues of their homes-it's certainly one of the year's most beautiful films. “Ravishing,” raves Film Comment, “it entices us with a world of abundant sensory riches.”
