A pleasant film.
<em>'Youth'</em>, aka <em>'Dhalinyaro'</em>, is pretty simple and doesn't try anything all that crazy, but what is produced is a fairly sweet story. The movie is made with competence, there are some lovely shots of Djibouti scattered in there. Music-wise it is quite solid as well.
The acting level exceeded my expectations, the trio of Amina Mohamed Ali, Tousmo Mouhoumed Mohamed and Bilan Samir Moubus bring their characters to life well. I felt like I learned a good amount about them, thanks to the actresses and also to those off-screen too, of course.
Billed as the country's "first feature film", Lula Ali Ismaïl & Co. did a nice job with this 2017 production. I like it.
