Leah Pickett

Chicago Reader

[Okwui] Okpokwasili uses song, dance, and soliloquy to explore, with a political edge, the intricacies of black girlhood, and onstage she's a magnetic force, physically commanding and emotionally raw.

Frank Scheck

Hollywood Reporter

Despite some undeniably powerful moments, Bronx Gothic, both the show and the film, suffers from an overall pretension.

A stirring ode to the liberating catharsis of artistic expression, as embodied by Okpokwasili and Born's transcendent theatrical masterwork.

Rated: 3.5/4

I think every living human being alive right now should see this film.

Cultured Vultures

It's a far superior work to Manifesto, another conceptual art film, mostly because the artist doesn't have the luxury of cool, aloof detachment. But it leaves quite a few unanswered questions.

National Review

Bronx Gothic...follows the usual pattern of Hollywood's imprisoning blacks within the limits of white liberal imagination...Rossi's liberalism - his whitesplaining - intrudes on his star's storytelling.
