Critics Reviews

Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times As drifting and dreamy as its searching heroine, "My Friend Victoria" takes a graceful but unsatisfying stroll through the life and longings of a young black woman in contemporary Paris. Dec 3, 2015 Full Review Scott Tobias Village Voice My Friend Victoria has a specific vibrancy as delicate and understated as Lessing's social critique. Dec 1, 2015 Full Review Clayton Dillard Slant Magazine The film disappoints in its refusal to allow for deeper articulations of racism beyond, well, visible and verbal displays of racism. Rated: 2/4 Nov 29, 2015 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Doris Lessing is the source of this quietly affecting, very worthwhile portrait of a young African woman adrift in Paris.
