Nakom Reviews
Willamette Week
Curtis Cook
Cast largely with non-actors, Jacob Ayanaba carries this film masterfully, with Ghana's natural beauty standing out in every scene.
Slant Magazine
Wes Greene
Nakom depicts a culture rarely ever shown on screen, and yet Iddrisu's struggle to move forward without betraying his upbringing reflects feelings that are unmistakably universal.
The Film Stage
Jacob Oller
Sadly, much of this is underserved by a script equally overplotted and underwritten.

Kenneth R. Morefield
Nakom is understated but implacable at illustrating the impossibility of negotiating any middle ground between independence and enmeshment
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
This low-key, engaging feature from Kelly Daniela Norris and T.W. Pittman, shown in last year's New Directors/New Films series, allows its setting to become a major character - and in this case, that's enough.
Village Voice
Sam Weisberg
The film ... transcends its familiar "career vs. home obligations" conflict.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A cast of non-actors acquits itself very nicely here, and the nature of the shoot -- in which locals played key roles in the low-budget production -- make the film's polish all the more impressive.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
A dramatic microcosm of the age-old conflict between progress and tradition.
