Like every Carmen, Karmen Geï is about the conflict between infinite desire for freedom and the laws, conventions, languages, the human limitations which constrain that desire.

Karmen Gei Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Jonathan Curiel
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.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
[Gai] comes closer to any actress I can remember to personifying independence in its purest and, yes, most intimidating form.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Karmen moves like rhythm itself, her lips chanting to the beat, her long, braided hair doing little to wipe away the jeweled beads of sweat.
New York Post
Megan Turner
A worthy addition to the cinematic canon, which, at last count, numbered 52 different versions.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
Enormously likable, partly because it is aware of its own grasp of the absurd.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
Wobbly Senegalese updating of "Carmen" which is best for the stunning star turn by Djeinaba Diop Gai
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
It's sexy, muscular and fast in a way that transcends logic to become something wondrous.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
The production design, score and choreography are simply intoxicating.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
A vibrant, colorful, semimusical rendition.
Village Voice
Jessica Winter
Lead actress Ga, she of the impossibly long limbs and sweetly conspiratorial smile, is a towering siren.
Film Journal International
Maria Garcia
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.
