Danny Leigh

Financial Times

Amid the current churn of French politics, We (Nous) arrives as a bracingly intelligent X-ray of the Fifth Republic. In this boldly structured documentary, every moment is there for a reason.

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

It’s a film which needs an investment of attention, but there is a great observational intelligence and sympathy at work.

Rated: 4/5

New York Times

An acute awareness of the relationship between memory, whether personal or collective, and identity emerges as the engine of “We.”

It is good to pay tribute to “small lives” ... at a time when the human rubbish that lives at the top of society, the billionaires and their celebrity hangers-on, take up so much of the media’s attention.

National Review

Diop needs more than shallow social impressions to enlist us in her cynicism.

Despite Diop’s sympathetic approach and some beautiful camerawork, the only time We takes off for me is when she accompanies her sister on her rounds.
