Africa United Ratings & Reviews
Little White Lies
Tom Seymour
It may be formulaic and linear, it may flinch by too readily blending into fable, but it doesn't hide from the realities. It just refuses to bow to them.
Guardian
Xan Brooks
A bouncy crossbreed of Slumdog Millionaire, Enid Blyton and a Unicef commercial; a film that so dearly wants to be adored and adopted that it seems positively churlish to shoo it away.
Time Out
Dave Calhoun
The makers do their best to paper over an undemanding script with bouncy music, quick cuts and musical montages, and you have to admire the young actors' spirited acting and the film's willingness to place HIV in the foreground.
Financial Times
Antonia Quirke
It has the feel of something freshly improvised, filmed delightedly on the hoof.
News of the World
Robbie Collin
As part of a school project, I can see it being valuable. As a fun family trip to the cinema, not so much.
Empire Magazine
Ian Nathan
The intention is Spain, the kids are Uruguay, but the direction and script are England.
Movie Talk
Jason Best
The filmmakers' backgrounds and experiences mean that the film's most picaresque and fairytale-like elements are still grounded in reality.
Urban Cinefile
Andrew L. Urban
Road movie, adventure, comedy drama, a will-they-make-it ... no matter what label you give it, Africa United is a unique piece of filmmaking, full of the joys and wounds of Africa
Urban Cinefile
Louise Keller
Like its infectious music and indelible African landscape, the sheer enthusiasm of this upbeat film championing friendship and dreams instantly rubs off
sbs.com.au
Don Groves
An earnest, treacly tale of youthful trio's long trek through Africa.
What Culture
Shaun Munro
It goes without saying that the precocious charm of an impoverished Rwandan kid improvising a football out of a condom, some string and a plastic bag is undeniable.
Daily Mail (UK)
Christopher Tookey
It appears to have been put together by social workers eager to bombard children with Aids awareness and the importance of condoms.
Film4
Neil Smith
Has enough charm, colour and humour to win us over by extra time.
Daily Express (UK)
Henry Fitzherbert
A cheery, rough-around-the-edges family film about three Rwandan children who travel overland from Rwanda to the 2010 World Cup in Johannesburg.
Total Film
Neil Smith
Director Debs Gardner-Paterson gets disarming performances from her young leads and the soundtrack is terrific.
Radio Times
Trevor Johnston
Africa United is never less than jaunty, the locations are suitably vivid, and the intention to make a film about the "real" Africa that's not all doom and gloom can't be faulted.
ViewLondon
Matthew Turner
Engaging, smartly paced comedy adventure with strong performances and a decent script, but its tightrope-walking approach to a succession of issues doesn't quite work and the film ultimately topples into the sentimentality it's been trying to avoid.
Sky Cinema
Tim Evans
Even if the narrative winds up at a predictable destination it's been a journey well worth making.
