Despite being available in some countries quite late, Sincerely Daisy was first released in 2020.
Produced and directed by Nick Muthuma, it is the first Kenyan feature film to be released on Netflix.
One of the most highly anticipated films to be released in October 2022, featuring a famous young woman played by Ella Maina, has a running time of 1 hour and 27 minutes.
With a “strong” emphasis on Swahili and Kenyan accents and “intended to export our African culture,” Mutuma began by describing the film as an example. By appearing on the screen, it succeeded in achieving the expression it aimed for in the global market, but the reaction the film elicited was very different.
Simply put, the movie is a simple coming-of-age story about a young high school graduate looking for a job in China.
Her desire to move on to another, new, and unfamiliar place triggers her mother’s anxiety and causes her to withdraw, while her father is the first to point to the ongoing financial crisis, which points to a worrisome front. Nevertheless, I am ready to support her efforts.
Daisy is happy to introduce her parents. She starts off with a picture of her parents, with whom she is perfectly content and in a healthy relationship.
It shows a well-known ignorance on her part, as does that of many children who are fortunately unaware of the tragic misfires that their parents keep hiding from them out of love and concern.
Perhaps the most heartwarming and realistic images in the film are those she shares with her family.
Perhaps the warmest and most realistic sequence in the film is the one where she is with her family. This is the only aspect that is allowed until the end.
However, even in fiction, the protagonist’s early narration is too restrained and melodramatic.
But most teenagers think of themselves as the protagonist of their own story, and with everything else going on around them, it puts her right in the middle of things.
The movie moves forward, pushing the love interest subplot, channeling the same energy despite assurances for the future, but it already feels precarious and shallow.

The character’s goal of perfecting her acting skills abroad is an extraordinary and idealistic desire, but its follow-up succumbs to gruesome exaggeration.
We haven’t been given time to delve into the seeming sincerity of some of the characters’ friendships, which is the bedrock of a coming-of-age movie’s soul. Instead, the depth of their friendship is only felt in their final farewell moments.
Short-lived light humor and positive family dynamics alone cannot sustain the film.
Given that it is aimed at the camera rather than being staged like a play, the acting is sometimes forced and appears more theatrical.
The film isn’t a particularly unique addition to its genre category, aside from the assumption that it’s a representative Kenyan production.
The plots of these films are driven primarily by the inner conflicts and monologues of the main characters, as well as the dynamics of their relationship.
Sincerely, Daisy delves into adolescent struggles well, despite being named as if it were a series of diary entries about her personal thoughts or letters addressed to the viewer. and, despite having feelings, fails to evoke a sense of relevance at its core.As its main focus.
The film does not treat its characters equally, as it clings to a tired cliché of dysfunctional friendships.
While the Genesis era is based on seeing its characters as people first, the film chooses teams arbitrarily and is more concerned with failing than building friendships. Despite the fact that I take cynical delight in making fun of such things and playing the “she deserves it” card, this one focused on seeing the character as a human being first. It goes against the focus of the movie.
