Review For Movie La pirogue

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

[It] touches, subtly, on issues of faith, feminism and a faltering world economy.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger

There's enough filmmaking talent evident throughout that you wish the journey were more satisfying overall.
Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York

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.
