‘Know Your Place’ Review: A Beguiling but Uneven Portrait of an Eriterian American Family in Seattle
In Seattle-based immigrant drama 'Know Your Place,' filmmaker Zia Mohajerjasbi shows a knack for believable characters and an eye for urban locations.
Robel (Joseph Smith) lives with his mother Amuna (Selamawit Gebresus), his elder sister Fayven (Esther Kibreab) and his ailing grandfather (Haileselassie Kidane). When they receive a late-night call from Eritrea asking for urgent help, Amuna tasks Robel with delivering a heavy suitcase full of medicine and some money across town destined for a sick family member back in their homeland. His friend Fahmi (Natnael Mebrahtu) accompanies him, and along the way, they run into helpers and hindrances, meet an array of characters and situations that delay their arrival at their intended destination.
