Slant Magazine

Aside from the late arrival of a hard-hitting, ambient techno score by Éric Neveux, Wùlu ultimately lacks enough distinctive formal touches to break free from its superior predecessors.

Rated: 2/4

Hollywood Reporter

The film's foretold but very understated ending, which keeps a key moment offscreen to devastating effect, again confirms that Coulibaly is a talent to watch.

One Room With A View

Sadly, while the conclusion takes some unexpected left turns, it fails to draw any larger point together about this world it so well portrays.

Rated: 2/5

Wùlu looks great, and it is not as dour or violent as you might fear.
