Movie Reviews

RogerEbert.com - 10/10 by Nick AllenFilmgoers looking for something to explicitly counter August's summer movie exhaustion should get first in line for Makala.
Flick Filosopher - 10/10 by MaryAnn JohansonGorgeously enveloping... [M]ore an anthropological document that nevertheless feels like a fictional narrative. And one with mythic overtones...
The List - 10/10 by Nikki BaughanA viewing experience that is not so much the study of a man but a sensory immersion; a journey of sweat and blood and steadfast resolution that is keenly, painfully felt.
Sunday Times (UK) - 10/10 by Edward PorterAs well as being sure to remind you how fortunate you are, Emmanuel Gras's film is beautiful and poetic, something it achieves without condescension.
Paste Magazine - 9/10 by Tim GriersonMakala depicts a harsh reality, but its unexpected beauty comes from the nonchalance of its portrayal.
Total Film - 8/10 by Tim ColemanIt plays like some post-apocalyptic Malick movie: thick dust storms, whispered prayers and an aching empathy for people scraping a living amid utter deprivation.
Cinema Scope - 8/10 by James LattimerThe quest narrative and the predictable setbacks it contains ultimately tighten their grip on the film, to such an extent that Kabwita's individual fate soon feels like just another vehicle for the same eminently valid point made countless times before.
Nonfics - 8/10 by Sarah FoulkesAvoids most of the traps of exoticism...but it makes the mistake of using observation as its only route to intimacy.
New York Times - 8/10 by Ben KenigsbergTo ponder the colonial implications of a French director exoticizing a Congolese man whose family eats rats for meals is to realize that a movie can be heartwarming and heartless at once.
TheArtsStl - 8/10 by Sarah BoslaughMakala shows far more than it tells, allowing the story to emerge gradually from a series of gorgeous visuals.
