3/5  "Colorful and deceptively buoyant until it suddenly pulls the rug out from under you, Burkinabe filmmaker Dani Kouyate's reworking of a folk story whose roots go back to 7th-century oral traditions is also a pointed political allegory."
-- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE

  "Mediocre fable from Burkina Faso."

  "The subtitled costume drama is set in a remote African empire before cell phones, guns, and the internal combustion engine, but the politics that thump through it are as timely as tomorrow."
-- Elizabeth Zimmer, VILLAGE VOICE

3/4  "As directed by Dani Kouyate of Burkina Faso, Sia lacks visual flair. But Kouyate elicits strong performances from his cast, and he delivers a powerful commentary on how governments lie, no matter who runs them."
-- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST

2/5  "The stripped-down approach does give the film a certain timeless quality, but the measured pace and lack of dramatic inflection can also seem tedious."
-- Dave Kehr, NEW YORK TIMES

In my bedroom, you'll find: "Plates and cups from midnight snacking, taped episodes of the Golden Girls and a body pillow shaped like a catfish."
