The Price Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
Writer-director Onah, himself a Nigerian-born artist, understands Seyi through and through. His storytelling is simple but brisk and coherent.
indieWire
David Ehrlich
The story ultimately frays apart by tugging at its flimsiest threads, but Onah hits on too many things with too much force for his debut to be dismissed as a result.
ComingSoon.net
Joshua Starnes
Pointed without ever falling into stereotypes, it's a bold statement about modern immigrant life in America and not to be missed.
Film Threat
Malik Adán
The Price is best when it lets the characters breathe and exist in space, often with little to no dialogue... Sadly, there's a rhetorical hammer to be swung in The Price, and at times Onah doesn't pull back enough.
Film Threat
Anthony Ray Bench
Hopefully this film will be successful and we'll see a more solid sophomore film, but as a debut film Onah should be commended.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
The large amount of plot poses two problems for the fledgling director, in that it's hard to fit all the character and story development into the 90-minute runtime and, as the film progresses, he also finds it difficult to decide where his focus lies.
Substream Magazine
Leigh Monson
The Price has a persistent feeling of having been here and done this, but as far as these morality plays are concerned, it's adequate. Ameen gives a strongly empathetic lead performance.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Cary Darling
Sure, it's an ages-old dilemma and there are moments that feel very much like a first film. But the strong lead performance by Aml Ameen ("Sense8") lends shading and depth to Onah's story.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
But the complex overall themes here are dealt with in such abrupt fashion that their treatment ultimately feels superficial. Still, you can hardly indict Onah for trying to make complex themes briskly palatable.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Just as ambition eclipses the protagonist's judgment, the movie loses its way in an excess of generic story strands.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Dara Ju doesn't feel groundbreaking, but it feels lived-in and genuine.
Shadow and Act
Aramide Tinubu
Despite all of Seyi's shortcomings, Dara Ju kept me riveted because I recognized myself in him.
Austin Chronicle
Dan Gentile
Overall Dara Ju still delivers on its promise of sharing a piece of the immigrant experience that needs to be told, but much like the film's ambitious protagonist, it loses track of some of the details along the way.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
[The Price] marks the arrival of an exciting new filmmaker in Onah.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
[Flaws] aside, this is an otherwise assured debut that is part social-drama, part corporate thriller, and very watchable as both.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Andrew Wright
Smart, well-paced, and a compelling character study, particularly when everything starts to crumble.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Ameen's performance is heartfelt, yet the film needs more polished insight.
L.A. Weekly
Rob Staeger
... the interaction of the film's many tensions nonetheless brings it to complex life.
