The sum effect is at once densely textured and appealingly direct, its experimental aspects only serving to communicate more vividly the bonds tested but also strengthened by great adversity.

Abrahams’ film reaffirms the strength of generational bonds and champions the desire of the new generation to question and provoke and demand answers.

It may be slight in length but it packs a powerful punch for freedom for women worldwide.

As a director, Abrahams leans into abstract imagery and blurry shots that sometimes don’t resolve, a strong visual metaphor for the complexities of real life.

A fascinating study, where time, dreams, and personal memory mingle in an emotive vision of the past, present, and future.

The Taste of Mango is a moving exploration of family and memory that gradually tugs at and unravels an unspoken trauma.

Patriarchal violence and rape culture have impacted this family deeply, but it’s a genuine honour to be privy to this filmic act of reconciliation and hope.

Brave and emotionally engrossing.

… weaves a spellbinding portrait of love and perseverance.

Abrahams’s film-making language has a supple informality and immediacy, revealing what you might call the unofficial drama of family life, the guilt and pain which she has brought out of the shadows.
