Movie Reviews

The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 9/10 by Ciara DolanThey Will Have to Kill Us First sends a clear message from Mali's musicians to their oppressors-you can turn cities into ghost towns, take away radio stations, and destroy instruments, but we'll never stop making music.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Frank LoveceWhether musicians or scientists or authors or artists, humans who just want to create and discover, and not hurt or take advantage of anyone, may well be the same all over -- and seem a lot better to have around than... extremists of any type.
Baret News - 8/10 by Kam WilliamsA cautionary expose capturing the ugly fallout of an unavoidable clash of modern and medieval civilizations.
Radio Times - 8/10 by Jamie HealySchwartz ... expertly captures the sights, sounds and general bustle of Mali, imbuing her sometimes harrowing film with warmth, intimacy and vitality.
Irish Times - 8/10 by Tara BradyBe fair warned: this film will make you want to hug your record collection, and add to it.
Spirituality and Practice - 6/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA documentary affirming the soulful meanings of music in Mali where jihadists have banned all music-making.
Irish Independent - 6/10 by Paul WhitingtonJohanna Schwartz's worthy documentary follows some of Timbuktu's most prominent musicians as they flee south to avoid the violence, join forces for concerts of protest, and eventually return in muted triumph to their liberated lands.
Guardian - 6/10 by Peter BradshawAlthough many of the stories told here are deeply harrowing and the film sometimes seems to be trying to bite off too much, at least there's a happy ending of sorts.
User Review - 10/10 by Héliø LExcellently done. Another country suffering at the hands of radical Islamic terrorist. But these people have a lot of heart.
