Félicité's reviews
Media reviews
Fotogramas
Imagine a combination between 'Two Days, One Night' and 'Bicycle Thieves', mixed with a touch of Jean Rouch ethnographic documentary and you will get the concept. Not bad.
El Mundo
The oddysey of a sentenced woman. Brutal, moving and magnetic.
Screen Daily
Undemonstrative but at the same time oddly compelling - rather like its eponymous main character - Felicité is a challenging, perhaps overlong, but also quietly resonant slice of new African cinema.
The Hollywood Reporter
Loosely scripted, intensely performed and loaded with energy.
Variety
A loose, vibrant (...) It?s a film in which a hard-earned smile, the contact between one person?s skin and another?s, or a serene strain of music amid the everyday noise can qualify as a dramatic event.
The Playlist
Every frame of 'Félicité' vibrates to the rhythms of the streets of Kinshasa and makes a case for the vitality of music in Congolese cinema.
