	Media	Author	Review
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"'Burial' satisfies in prosaic as well as poetic terms, supplying an end that makes sense of its beginning. It will leave many who see it eager for the young filmmaker's next fable."
		Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"'The Burial of Kojo' is a near-virtuoso work, a feast of emotion, nuance and beauty, and a startling feature directing debut."
		Richard Brody The New Yorker	"In its bold and limpid lyricism, the film is both an anguished delight in itself and an exemplar of dramatic freedom that should stand as a model for some filmmakers and a reproach to others."
		Carlos Aguilar Los Angeles Times	"Wonderfully atmospheric and culturally enriching, 'The Burial of Kojo' truly qualifies as a spellbinding experience."
		Jessica Kiang Variety	"Bursting onto the screen in striking image after striking image (...) The movie is bound together by Kwaku Obeng Boateng’s rhythmic yet freeform editing (...) [It] deserves to see the light."
