Michael Sicinski Cinema Scope I watched Of Sheep and Men with no foreknowledge, and I honestly thought it was a fictional feature. That's because this documentary is so tightly structured in terms of its focus on two protagonists and their gradually shifting milieu. Nov 18, 2017 Full Review Jared Mobarak The Film Stage The animals' hard heads become the main metaphor signifying the tenacious personas of the Algerian people themselves. They may be worn down, but they won't ever be broken. Rated: B- Sep 28, 2017 Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto [Karim] Sayad builds a central metaphor of Algerians being treated like sheep by their apathetic government, but he doesn't force it. He just lets us find our way to it between bouts. Rated: 4/5 Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
