The Hollywood Reporter

A potent real-world feminist fable.

Variety

The film sits in an uneasy area, wanting to reproduce real life in this "exotic" village yet forcing it into a straightjacket of primal legends and inorganic notions.

The film discards the stereotype in cinema where a woman in trouble needs a male figure to trigger her decisions. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

The Film Stage

Perceptively, Sibel understands patriarchy as a straightjacket affecting both men and women.

Rated: B+

Cinema Scope

Sibel ticks off so many currently hot-button-category boxes... but in the hands of co-directors Çagla Zencirci and Guillaume Giovanetti and co-screenwriter Ramata Sy, they mould and decay into a musty laundry list of formula items.

Extraordinary important movie about a strong woman who despite and because of her difference manages to push her way through a forrest of sexist and archaic rules, and vanquish her inner wolf. Absolutely brilliant and beautiful.
