Popular Culture Review
reverential, holier-than-thou, high-toned, boring pastiche of a film, one thing is
certain: Hollywood will not give up on making cinematic meditations about
bored, rich, yet soul-searching and sensitive, white people, questing for
fulfillment and a new life among the photogenic landscape of Kenya and Africa.
