Joshua Land Time Out Rated: 4/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Jonathan Curiel San Francisco Chronicle This West African drama looks at a single village in the throes of change -- change that reveals people's cruelty, their fixation on being right, and the clash between modernity and traditional beliefs. Rated: 4/4 Oct 31, 2008 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times In Delwende the African filmmaker S. Pierre Yameogo tackles social injustice in present-day Burkina Faso with grace, economy and exquisitely controlled anger. Rated: 4/5 Oct 8, 2008 Full Review John P. McCarthy Boxoffice Magazine Yameogo is able to convey his pointed social message with a subtle yet steady rhythm derived from the physicality of his mainly nonprofessional actors. Rated: 4/5 Oct 10, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
