Critic Reviews
-
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
If Jean-Luc Godard had kept his sense of humor, he might be making engaging movies like Bamako.
-
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
[An] intimate, urgent and wildly imaginative indictment of post-colonial economic policies in Africa.
-
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle
Trial movies can be painful, but Bamako is a powerful polemic leavened with moments of beauty and humor.
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Bamako is an attack on globalization that is endlessly cogent, confrontational -- and, best of all, as captivating as it is illuminating.
-
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
A strange and often haunting little film.
