影評：
• 編導佛雷德麗克米格姆在這部以兒童為主角、迷人而帶著政治色彩的電影中關注比利時的無照移民。
• 主題切中時事，關注破碎家庭、移民和動物滅絕，但以現代風格來敘事，充滿魅力，以溫和的方式來闡明問題。這部適合兒童和成人觀看的精彩電影，主要歸功於出色的劇本。服裝和佈景設計的色彩鮮豔，形成強烈的視覺，即使在故事最黑暗的時刻也帶來希望。
• 主角巴貝兒提香妮巴羅吉帶來精彩的演出。
• 一部值得一看的優質電影。
Synopsis
Binti (12) was born in Congo but has lived with her father Jovial (40) in Belgium since she was a baby. Despite not having any legal documents, Binti wants to live a normal life, and dreams of becoming a famous vlogger like her idol Tatyana. Elias (11) runs his 'save-the-okapi-club' without the help of his father, who's moved to Brazil following his divorce with Elias’s mother Christine (42). When their annoying neighbour invites Christine on a romantic trip to Paris, Elias, upset and angry, runs away to his treehouse. At the same time, police raid Binti and Jovial’s home, sending the two on the run, and Binti into the path of Elias in his treehouse. When their parents meet shortly after, Binti quickly sees the perfect solution to all her problems. If she can match her dad to Elias’ mom, they can get married and stay in Belgium. Binti joins Elias’ okapi club, and while they organise a big fundraiser together, she secretly starts her plan to make Christine fall in love with Jovial. Until Elias finds out what Binti is really up to.

Reviews:
• Writer-director Frederike Migom focuses on immigrants without papers in Belgium in this charming, politically charged film aimed at children.
• The themes are hard-hitting – broken families, immigration and animal extinction – and yet the story is told in a contemporary style, full of charm and in a manner that elucidates the issues without being heavy-handed. That it manages to be a great movie for both kids and adults is down to the excellent script. The visuals are notable for the explosion of colour in the costumes and set designs, which keeps things light, even when the story is at its darkest.
• The star of the show is Bebel Tshiani Baloji, who plays the titular Binti.
• It's an entertaining film to watch.
