Leave your thoughts about Daughters of the Dust.
| San Diego CityBeatGlenn Heath Jr.Dash's seminal drama is that rare ensemble piece truly focused on the collective, how individuals complicate and contradict notions of community. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansDaughters of the Dust captures with precision and great beauty a point in history, the transition of African Americans from rural to urban at the turn of the last century. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawIt is a mysterious, fabular and sometimes dreamlike film with its own theatrical poise. |
| Film InquiryLee JuttonIf you find yourself thirsty for more Lemonade this summer, find the time to take in a screening of Daughters of the Dust. The trip will open your eyes and your mind. |
| Arts FusePeg AloiThe restoration and re-issue of Julie Dash's masterpiece is a valuable reminder that black female filmmakers are still woefully underrepresented in contemporary cinema. |
| KDHX (St. Louis)Diane CarsonA ravishingly beautiful work, it presents the historically grounded story of a multi-generational Gullah family reuniting on an island off South Carolina's coast. |
| Cinema ScopeSteve MacfarlaneDaughters damns precedent altogether, sidestepping the broad strokes of African-American history familiar from so many textbook historical dramas set during the era of antebellum slavery or the '60s Civil Rights Movement. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyDash drew on her own family history to fashion Daughters of the Dust and throughout, there's an unshakable sense that the viewer is being called to bear witness. Heed the call. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonA poetic tribute to African culture, the oral tradition and the spirit of the Gullah people. |
| Boston GlobePatricia SmithDaughters of the Dust abounds with stunning motifs and tableaux, the iconography seemingly sourced from dreams as much as from history and folklore. But however seductive and trance-inducing, the visual splendor of Dash's film is never vaporous. |
