Overall, pic works well as a road movie, swinging and easy for the most part but gaining a certain gravitas in its later stretches.

Toronto Star

Through facial expression, gesture and deed, Gatlif manages to coax such a deep humanity out of his characters' situations that dialogue becomes superfluous.

Rated: 2.5/4

Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)

A vibrant, luscious travelogue that will have you gladly surrendering to its offbeat rhythm. . . . a road movie stripped to its existential core.

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.

Great topographic filmography and interesting main characters. Worth watching if just to hear a brilliant soundtrack of Algerian beats and rhythms and Roma synths.
