Félicité Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Vikram Murthi
Félicité has a lyrical spirit that worms its way to the surface even at its most directionless.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
The film's tonal range is formidable enough to suggest that this director may be a major talent who's now emerging from relative obscurity.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
Think High Noon set in Kinshasa and backed by a Congolese beat.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Paints a dim picture of Kinshasa, but does it well.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
Alain Gomis never reconciles throughout how the film's disparate parts are meant to fit together.
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
The meandering narrative has a lyrical quality consistent with the many musical numbers.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
Beya ... arrives fully formed here as a figure of enormous dignity and warmth, a pillar of resilience who is nonetheless all-too-humanly susceptible to exhaustion, grief and despair.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Mr. Gomis's cinematic style is spectacularly multifaceted. The camerawork and cutting often have the fleetness of a documentary, but there's nothing sloppy about them.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Gomis's handheld cameras work to keep up with the actors, who seem to move with rare freedom, but he also stages some exquisite and complex flourishes ...
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The movie is a virtual documentary of city sights and moods, and also a bitter exposé of a country without a social safety net.
Shadow and Act
Aramide Tinubu
Félicité is a work of art. It is also the anguish in everyday day survival when you are losing your will to live that makes the film largely captivating.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
It's intense if somewhat choppy filmmaking, although the passion of the amateur cast and vividness of the Kinshasa locations help make up for the narrative shortcomings.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Gomis' latest ... [weaves] a sensual, sometimes hopeful, sometimes disturbing urban tapestry with threads of image, sound, poetry, and song.
MUBI
Kiva Reardon
...the film doesn't wallow in her dire circumstances and instead celebrates the agency and beauty that exists all around her.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Everyone may agree on how artful and powerful it is as a human condition study, but not on how entertaining it is.
FF2 Media
Amelie Lasker
Félicité's wonderful soundtrack supplements its incredible writing and editing, and it is my favorite movie so far this year.
SF Weekly
Jeffrey Edalatpour
Gomis approaches her performances with a gritty, gorgeous series of impressions.
Counterpunch.org
Louis Proyect
A neo-realist tale with a soupcon of magical realism that is totally irresistible.
Pittsburgh City Paper
Al Hoff
The film's elements ultimately come together to form a portrait of Félicité, as well as of life in this struggling city. It feels like a cliché to have to note the resilience, cooperation and ingenuity that keep both Félicité and her environment together
Film Inquiry
Andrew Winter
Félicité contains some of the most powerful moments you'll see in any movie this year. However, Gomis' film never quite amounts to the sum of its impressive parts, its fantasy sequences distracting from, and superfluous to, the main action.
