Zombi Child's reviews
Media reviews
Screen Daily
Mixing political commentary, ethnography, teenage melodrama and genre horror, the film is an unashamedly cerebral study of multiple themes ? colonialism, revolution, liberalism, racial difference and female desire - with its unconventional narrative structure taking us on a journey that?s as intellectually demanding as it is compelling.
Bertrand Bonello?s quixotic, slow-burn genre film is political largely in the abstract.
The Playlist
Zombi Child is the rare film that?s both rich in ideas and fun, a reckoning with forces colonial powers would like buried, but that won?t stay dead.
The Telegraph
Zombi Child is the kind of lithe and lucid dream that gets its tendrils round your brain stem, so that when all hell finally breaks loose, you can?t jolt yourself awake from its grip.
