Moviegoers are saying

Son of the Soil divides audiences with its aggressive visual style and brutal storytelling set in Lagos, Nigeria. While viewers praise Jack Thompson-Roylance's disorienting cinematography that uses constant dutch angles and handheld camerawork to create an immersive, unsettling experience, many struggle with clunky dialogue and a predictable revenge plot that hits familiar beats.

Son of the Soil rises to its highest point with its technical identity. The story does exist in all its expected beats—the confrontation, the search, the chase, the law enforcement, and the final face off; but its setting in Lagos demands a certain multicontextual approach…
