Richard Brody The New Yorker Mambety's richly textured view of urban life fuses fiction and documentary, displaying the rampant poverty and endemic misogyny in the modernizing capital. Mar 2, 2020 Full Review James Hanton Outtake Mag Mambéty's final film is brimming with colour and optimism, carried through by a central character blessed with ferocious resilience and executed with a glorious eye for detail. Rated: 4 / 5 Jul 28, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Encantadora en su simpleza y con una memorable protagonista, aunque no tiene toda la resonancia dramática que quizá aspira a lograr. / Enchanting in its simplicity and with a memorable protagonist, but doesn't have all the dramatic resonance it probably aspires to have.
