Virgin Blade (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Before seven years old Oneke’s mother dies, she hands Oneke to Bessem, her city-based sister. Twelve years later, Bessem dies and Oneke, now a nursing student returns to her village to ask her father for school fees. On arrival she hears a girl screaming as her breasts are being “ironed” to prevent them from developing too fast, and remembers the pain she herself suffered when it was done to her.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
