- Lee Jutton @ Film Inquiry
- Excerpt: Inspired by Diop’s personal experiences attending the trial of Fabienne Kabou, who was convicted of the same crime in 2016, the film explores the myriad complex issues at the heart of the case—race, the immigrant experience, generational trauma, motherhood—with incredible empathy, elevating what may at first appear to be a standard legal drama to something quite extraordinary.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Reading that much of the on-screen scenario was born from lived experience makes sense considering how meticulously rendered and performed the courtroom scenes are. But also because of the emotions Diop imbues.
