Director Andrew Dosunmu transfers Nigerian ideology to the heart of Brooklyn where the boundaries of kinship are put to the test in this grand achievement in cinematography, Mother of George (2013).  Within the Yoruba ethnic group of Nigeria, when a wife marries her husband, she becomes the wife of the entire family. This is the story of Adenike, portrayed by Danai Gurira, whose marital bliss is infringed upon by the mother of her husband, George, as they try to conceive a child. The construct of the film reflects the cultural meaning and expectations  of manhood set against the dictates of what is expected of a woman and wife of the family. In respect to the love she has for her husband and an impeding mother-in-law , Adenike is coerced into making an unthinkable decision with the hope of keeping all intact,  which in turn poses a moral dilemma for all involved.
Mother of George is a great film for avid film buffs wishing to escape the confines of Hollywood for ventures that are more independent, foreign, unique and unseen. Great cinematography, an identifiable human story and perfect acting drives the pace of this film and churn it into a work of beauty and art. -pep boy
