There is No Cure is by far the best film in the Umjolo series so far, if only because the drama intersects with not just the realities of queer love but also the reality of social media and the manufactured persona. The two leads are both people who brush up with the concept of the persona in their own lives - one a reclusive writer and the other a social media influencer. They are so different from one another yet compliment each other so well. While lacking some of the richness in cultural expression that I saw in other Umjolo films, this one feels a lot more grounded overall
