 "Interesting and thoroughly unfaithful version of Carmen"
-- Jon Popick, PLANET SICK-BOY
 "It's sexy, muscular and fast in a way that transcends logic to become something wondrous."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
"A violent initiation rite for the audience, as much as it is for Angelique, the [opening] dance guarantees Karmen's enthronement among the cinema's memorable women."
-- Maria Garcia, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL

"Lead actress Gaļ, she of the impossibly long limbs and sweetly conspiratorial smile, is a towering siren."
-- Jessica Winter, VILLAGE VOICE
"Beautifully reclaiming the story of Carmen and recreating it an in an African idiom."
-- Susan Walker, TORONTO STAR
"A worthy addition to the cinematic canon, which, at last count, numbered 52 different versions."
-- Megan Turner, NEW YORK POST
"A vibrant, colorful, semimusical rendition."
-- Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Enormously likable, partly because it is aware of its own grasp of the absurd."
-- Elvis Mitchell, NEW YORK TIMES
"[Gai] comes closer to any actress I can remember to personifying independence in its purest and, yes, most intimidating form."
-- Glenn Lovell, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS
"The film becomes an overwhelming pleasure, and you find yourself rooting for Gai's character to avoid the fate that has befallen every other Carmen before her."
-- Jonathan Curiel, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"Ultimately betrayed by a script, whose initially ambiguous charm gives way to disorder and confusion."
-- GLOBE AND MAIL
