Leave your thoughts about A Screaming Man.
| Moving Pictures MagazineAnnlee EllingsonLargely a quiet film, though its emotions are loud. Feelings aren't discussed as much as they unfold. |
| ScotsmanAlistair HarknessIt's a quietly devastating film, aided greatly by a haunting performance from Djaoro. |
| London Evening StandardDerek MalcolmThis is not only a good-looking, well directed and splendidly shot and acted film. It is an unforgettable snapshot of a failed country, and one of the best films in London at the moment. |
| Radio TimesTrevor JohnstonThe director's style is certainly deliberate, but the gradual build-up of events is undeniably thought-provoking, played out in images of stark beauty as Adam's personal odyssey reaches a powerful and moving conclusion. |
| Time OutDave CalhounIt's an intelligent, good-looking film and one that confirms Haroun as one of Africa's leading filmmakers. |
| Total FilmPhilip KempA moving, compassionate film, shot with near Ozu-like restraint. |
| Empire MagazineWilliam ThomasBeautifully understated, Haroun gives his story room to breathe and the tenderness to touch the heart. A thoughtful tale of fathers and sons. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierHaroun is achingly conscious of day-to-day decisions that seem small when they're made but can suddenly loom large. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsHaroun deploys no rhetoric at all. His cinema is as mute as Bresson, yet as incandescent. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoThe film is quiet and thoughtful, yet forcefully makes its point about the folly of war. |
