Mma-Ramotswe movie enthralling

Many had waited too long to see the movie, which was not only shot in Botswana, but also set in the country. Based on Alexander McCall Smith's novel, and beautifully directed by one of the world's most gifted directors, the late Anthony Minghella, the movie which premiered on Friday at the New Capitol Cinema, Riverwalk is nothing short of exquisite.

Filled with much humour, wit and intellect in solving complex cases by the main character, woman detective Precious Ramotswe (fondly referred to as Mma-Ramotswe), played wonderfully by American actress and R & B songbird Jill Scott, the movie grips one's attention from beginning to end.
