ksf-2 It's not always a good thing when someone writes and directs a film-- but in this case, it worked out Great! A story of two men, Rag and Tag, starting as friends while still little boys, who meet up again, all-grown up, or trying to be. It seems to take place in London. One of the two,Tag, now has a girlfriend Olivia, but with the tension between them, we can tell its probably not a good match. Rag makes his feelings for Tag very clear, but Tag isn't as sure. We walk around town seeing all the family and friends again, then they decide to fly off to nigeria, ostensibly to visit relatives. But Tag's friends have other reasons for wanting to meet up. Back to London. Good times. Bad times. It's a roller coaster ride. Good soundtrack. My only complaint was a common one for indie films -- the sound goes up and down. This was the first project for director Adaora Nwandu, and it's a job well done. This also seems to be the only film done by the two guys playing Rag and Tag. Wonder why.

colarusso-1 With a small budget this film deserve a very good critic.Finally a film with a gay theme without a tragedy. One moving story, with good actors.I recognize problems with edition, and other small Technics problems.But who care about this, when we see a film so full of truth and tenderness??? Sometimes I ask me why films about gay man are sad,dramatic? Why can we have a film with gay thematic without hope? Some scenes for me were really sublime. The story is very sensitive, principally because the plot is about black, gay and poor people. I would like to see more films like this: simple, direct, full of truth, one real story.This story can happen.

Kouncelor We have become so accustomed to one way of directing/producing a film. I believe that a film has to be reviewed based on it's own merit, not some made up standard.This was a great film. A very simple storyline that provides a glimpse into the past to two boys (with many unknowns).. then the twists and turns that surround their reunion as grown men.I especially enjoyed that many vague points or events where many viewer made assumptions that were clarified at the end. That, in itself, was very creative. As well, we have a credible view into another culture.Well done! So different from anything I've ever scene.

arielnow W Sharpe Director of New Media, Public Broadcasting Atlanta – 30th July 2007 "I recently saw the film Rag Tag during the National Black Arts Festival in Atlanta. I thought it was a bold, daring, provocative film. I was surprised at the reaction of some of the viewers of the film and their objection to the subject matter.I think that the Arts Festival is exactly the place to exhibit such works. It is a place for artists to exhibit their craft and enlighten to public through their art. Please do not censor future content. I have learnt many things through the films presented at the Arts Festival and it would be a shame if the narrow minded views of a few stifled lifelong learning. The film has been a topic of discussion among the friends I brought with me to screen the film and those who were not in attendance. I'd like to know if the film is in release on DVD or will be screened at any other festivals around the country." C Anderson - 8th and 10th August, 2007 "I just saw Rag Tag at the Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. It was Great. I felt that the audience at the showing I attended really responded positively to the film (and it was a full house)…. The accents were certainly present, but they were by no means a hindrance. I am probably more challenged by a strong southern accent from the USA - and that's in my own country!
