Review For Movie La pirogue

For all its technical skill and good intentions, the film doesn't quite have enough dramatic momentum to push it over the top.
Adam Nayman-Globe and Mail

Touré leaves no room for sentimentality in his tale of struggle, which has a lean but adventurous, docudrama look and feel.
Doug Kim-Seattle Times

The pirogue practice may still be going on, but at least Touré has done his job and has made a strong film in doing it.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic

It's as sadly repetitive a story for Europe as it is for the US: would-be immigrants risking all for a better opportunity elsewhere.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post

Every moment feels human and true, from the naive optimism of the trip's sendoff to its unsparingly realistic conclusion, which trades reckless hope for quiet honor.
Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News

Given the film's neo-neorealist imperative, the real achievement here is affecting detail within an observational approach.
Andrew Schenker-Village Voice

La Pirogue is small compared with most Euro-American productions and has its vulnerabilities -- but its makers trusted it to do the big job of carrying the story of African emigration, and it has come through beautifully.
Stuart Klawans-The Nation

The storms, quarrels and casualties don't make any emotional waves since they are clinically checked off, as if the filmmakers themselves recognize the predictability of it all and would rather just hurry on to the gloomy finale we all see coming.
Radheyan Simonpillai-NOW Toronto

Director Moussa Touré's allegorical underpinning transforms this rather predictable plot, ripped from familiar headlines around the world, into a decidedly Senegalese story.
Maria Garcia-Film Journal International

A key to the realism is tribal and linguistic diversity so often ignored in films about Africans. . memorably captures the staggering determination it takes to go to Europe.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com

Moussa Touré's worldview, like Ousmane Sembene's, is characterized by the feeling that, at the end of the day, some degree of loss or defeat is inevitable.
Calum Marsh-Slant Magazine

Politically powerful neorealist treatment on Senegalese "boat people" done with a poet's touch.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews

A compelling cross of Life of Pi and Lifeboat, a seafaring tale of survival sans the Bengal tiger and Tallulah Bankhead.
Kam Williams-AALBC.com
