Leave your thoughts about I Am Not a Witch.
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussThis story of an 8-year-old 'witch' literally tethered into servitude is both political exposé and political satire; the sense of sorrow and anger is enhanced by director Rungano Nyoni's artist's appreciation of the absurdity at the root of tragedy. |
| The ARTerySean BurnsOne of the year's very best films. A blast of absurdist outrage that's seriously funny until all of the sudden it's not anymore. |
| Cinema SirenLeslie CombemaleIn the debut of newcomer and previously untrained 9-year-old Maggie Mulubwa, the actress carries a sorrow that reads both weary and bone deep. She is compelling to watch and impossible to ignore. |
| Slant MagazinePat BrownIt finds that rare nexus of the comic and the tragic, underlining the absurdity of a terrible situation without demeaning those who have been harmed by it. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasThere's real sorrow and anger underneath the laughs. |
| Cine PremiereMabel SalinasThe debut film by Rungano Nyoni is a satirical, brilliant and sophisticated denunciation starring the magnificent revelation Maggie Mulubwa. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| First ThingsEve TushnetI Am Not a Witch, the brilliant feature debut of Zambian-Welsh writer and director Rungano Nyoni, is a satire with the haunting, surreal sensibility of a fairy tale. |
| RogerEbert.comOdie HendersonNyoni does an excellent job of keeping an absurd tone while losing none of the gravity of the situation. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaria GarciaThis striking and original film by a Zambian-Welsh writer-director is a feminist allegory set in Zambia. |
| The Victoria AdvocateJoe FriarAn impressive debut from Zambian filmmaker Rungano Nyoni who manages to keep the film balanced and entertaining with a heavy dose of satire. |
