Aisha Review | Letitia Wright & Josh O’Connor Stun in Riveting Asylum Drama
A young Nigerian woman seeking asylum in Ireland faces a looming deportation to certain death in the new film Aisha, which wounds your soul as a heartfelt, distressing, and dehumanizing journey through the bureaucratic maze of refugee resettlement. A captivating Letitia Wright gives light to the knife’s edge panic and fear that an uncertain future brings. The film tackles difficult themes with a viewpoint that sometimes paints those against immigration with a generic, cruel brush. That said, there’s no denying the harrowing reasons people flee their homelands for safety.
