Alissa Simon

Variety

Although more compelling on a visual level than a narrative one, the movie represents an enticing festival and niche event item, as well as a vision of Sadat's homeland that is far different from what the media normally depicts.

Hollywood Reporter

Wolf and Sheep is an absorbing ethnographic docu-drama hybrid, marbled with a curious vein of phantasmagoric storytelling.

A Reel of One's Own

Wolf and Sheep is one of those rare films that doesn't need a narrative to be compelling.

Rated: A-

Graffiti With Punctuation

Sadat's fresh perspective of Afghan society is one that's rarely viewed on screen. "Wolf and Sheep" has a disarming quality that from the moment it starts, you're not actually sure that what you're viewing is a fiction.

Rated: 4/5

Allan Hunter

Screen International

Builds into an observant, quietly beguiling portrait of the rituals and traditions, tensions and rivalries in the community and gains a little extra spice in the sprinkling of magic realist notions that Sadat adds to the mixture.
