Alissa Simon Variety Expertly laced with visual humor, Sabali is a gorgeously stylized, wryly comic drama about a train-ticket seller with heart and relationship problems. Dec 11, 2015 Full Review Ken Eisner Georgia Straight A quirky treat on many levels, this one may leave you scratching your head at times, but it's got plenty of heart. Mar 30, 2016 Full Review Michael D. Reid Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) This stylized, at times dreamlike diversion's quirkiness and eye-popping art direction, heavy on bold reds and yellows, transcends the narrative hiccups. Rated: 3/5 Feb 12, 2016 Full Review Alison Gillmor Winnipeg Free Press Starting with this seemingly glum premise, The Heart of Madame Sabali adds in absurdist comedy, surreal drama and inventive, super-stylized visuals. The final effect is weirdly, unexpectedly upbeat. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 5, 2016 Full Review T'Cha Dunlevy Montreal Gazette McKenna has an auteur's flair, impeccable comic timing and an ability to combine evocative dramatic truths with inspired flights of fancy. It all adds up to a movie that is well worth your time, and a budding director to keep your eye on. Rated: 4/5 Dec 11, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews
