Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An excellent movie
As someone who grew up in Kenya in the 50s and 60s, I can attest to the fact that this film captures the feel and the spirit of colonial Kenya better than any other film ever made. The characterizations are excellent, and the story is both entirely believable and captures the nature of colonialism without being judgemental. The little boy in the lead role does an excellent job - you can fully empathize with him - and the late Bob Peck is, as ever, superb in the role of the local head of the police. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent yet troubling story.
. "The Kitchen Toto" is an excellent movie that portrays the beginning of the insurgence in 1950's Colonial British ruled Kenya. It is a heartbreaking story of a young boy who suffers unbearable hardships and tragedies, and must choose between his loyalties. It shows the brutality of the drive for Kenya's independence. The ending is tragic and makes you appreciate growing up in our country. As the previous reviewer indicates, it is authentic and very interesting. Get your Kleenex ready



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent portrayal of racial tensions in Colonial Kenya
"The Kitchen Toto" does a fine job of examining all aspects of a troubled time in Colonial Kenya. The director himself grew up in Kenya, and the film was shot on location. Very authentic, very interesting, and not a little troubling!
