Leslie Felperin Variety 07/15/2005
Overall, pic works well as a road movie, swinging and easy for the most part but gaining a certain gravitas in its later stretches. Go to Full Review John Terauds Toronto Star 07/15/2005
2.5/4
Through facial expression, gesture and deed, Gatlif manages to coax such a deep humanity out of his characters' situations that dialogue becomes superfluous. Go to Full Review Adele Weder Globe and Mail 07/15/2005
3/4
We don't get much in the way of witty dialogue or character development, but the choice shots of clammy skin, tousled hair, odd scars and bad weather evoke an engaging story just the same. Go to Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com 11/18/2007
3.5/5

worth checking out for cultural illumination and for its striking musical score Go to Full Review Brian Gibson Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) 10/01/2005
A vibrant, luscious travelogue that will have you gladly surrendering to its offbeat rhythm. . . . a road movie stripped to its existential core. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/10/2016 Outstanding French movie. Great opening sex scene. Rent it and you won't be disappointed See more 11/13/2010 For Exils, I will say that it is the Rose in the Desert. The potrayal of the two characters traveling from one to other place is beautiful. Background score and cinematography is another essence of the film. You'll enjoy it if you can relate to the gypsy mood. See more 10/24/2010 Great topographic filmography and interesting main characters. Worth watching if just to hear a brilliant soundtrack of Algerian beats and rhythms and Roma synths. See more 05/16/2010 simile ai film di Fatih Akim, bisogna recuperare i flm più vecchi che dice che sono pure meglio See more 05/03/2010 it's artistic..but I didn't like it. See more 03/16/2010 Moi j'aime beaucoup M. Gatlif ainsi que ses films ! See more Read all reviews
