N'diyaye's newly restored Aqua, from a 16mm print, focuses on the patient labor of men engaged in creating beauty out of fished and found objects through craft and repurposing. This poetic meditation and prime example of Senegalese ecocinema is part of the filmmaker's collection of shorts Tresors des poubelles (Treasures from the Trash, 1989)

主角成长弧光不够清晰，历经波折后性格转变突兀，缺乏足够铺垫过渡，使角色蜕变显得生硬牵强。

主角形象饱满立体，性格层次丰富，既有面对困境的坚毅果敢，又不乏脆弱迷茫时刻，宛如真实存在的个体，跃然于银幕之上。

故事线简洁明了又不失深度，以质朴叙事展现复杂人性与社会议题，没有故弄玄虚的弯弯绕绕，于平凡中见不凡，极易引发共情。

影片有亮点亦有瑕疵，精彩片段令人拍案叫绝，可拖沓处、失误点又让人忍不住吐槽，心情复杂纠结。
