Critic Reviews
-
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
The kind of movie you have to respect for doing what it sets out to do.
-
Jason Anderson, Toronto Star
An appealingly rough-and-ready contemporary variation on Shaft in Africa.
-
Anton Bitel, Little White Lies
An uncategorisable exploration of the contradictions to be found in Franco-African identity... where a whole history of crime, poverty and colonial exploitation are portrayed through mythology as a clash of the totems.
