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. Aug 17, 2017 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Despite some undeniably powerful moments, Bronx Gothic, both the show and the film, suffers from an overall pretension. Jul 17, 2017 Full Review Matt Fagerholm RogerEbert.com A stirring ode to the liberating catharsis of artistic expression, as embodied by Okpokwasili and Born's transcendent theatrical masterwork. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 12, 2017 Full Review Seph Rodney Hyperallergic I think every living human being alive right now should see this film. Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Andrea Thompson 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. Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Armond White 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.
