Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail If Griot the film doesn't always hold your attention, griot the man usually does. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 25, 2013 Full Review Jay Stone Canada.com If you can get past the swirly animation and random scenes of landscapes, Griot is a fine introduction to Cissoko, another of the fine musicians (like Youssou N'Dour) of Senegal. Eighty minutes of his songs would have been a better idea. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 1, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
