Outsiders Reviews
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Mark R. Leeper
Micro-epic from Senegal. The film is weak on style, acting, and pacing, but has a really good story.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Only twice, in fantasy sequences, does Mr. Sembene allow himself the imaginative film maker's freedom to distort history to achieve some kind of dramatic truth. The rest is picturesque.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Ousmane Sembene's 1977 Senegalese film was attacked for daring to depict life in precolonial Africa as something less than paradisiacal.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
Sembène displays a quiet virtuosity in the way he organizes crowds and gatherings and sometimes allows individuals to detach themselves from the group in order to speak in the foreground.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Ceddo's sharp indictments-whether primarily dramatic or comic-still sting, despite (or perhaps because of) their usual surface of even-toned social realism.
TV Guide
Most of the film consists of meetings between different factions and groups, all conducted according to ancient tribal customs.
