The Pirogue Movie Review |
It's as sadly repetitive a story for Europe as it is for the US: would-be immigrants risking all for a better opportunity elsewhere. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
Every moment feels human and true, from the naive optimism of the trip's sendoff to its unsparingly realistic conclusion, which trades reckless hope for quiet honor. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News
Given the film's neo-neorealist imperative, the real achievement here is affecting detail within an observational approach. Andrew Schenker-Village Voice
[It] touches, subtly, on issues of faith, feminism and a faltering world economy. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
A remarkably cleareyed, quietly ambitious film ... A.O. Scott-New York Times
What distinguishes it is not the depiction of danger and loss at sea, but a deep understanding of West African culture. Unlike such glib Hollywood issue pictures as Blood Diamond, The Pirogue is rich with authentic details. Mark Jenkins-NPR
Director Moussa Touré's allegorical underpinning transforms this rather predictable plot, ripped from familiar headlines around the world, into a decidedly Senegalese story. Maria Garcia-Film Journal International
A key to the realism is tribal and linguistic diversity so often ignored in films about Africans. . memorably captures the staggering determination it takes to go to Europe. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
There's enough filmmaking talent evident throughout that you wish the journey were more satisfying overall. Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York
Moussa Touré's worldview, like Ousmane Sembene's, is characterized by the feeling that, at the end of the day, some degree of loss or defeat is inevitable. Calum Marsh-Slant Magazine
Politically powerful neorealist treatment on Senegalese "boat people" done with a poet's touch. Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews
