Lisa Alspector · Chicago Reader 90.00/100.00

This terrifyingly beautiful movie blends metaphor and stark social commentary to achieve a spontaneous grace.

Balding 3.00/5.00

本以为又是一部《紫色》，没想到是黑人山寨版《百年孤独》

Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 88.00/100.00

The film had a curious effect on me. I was sometimes confused about events as they happened, but all the pieces are there, and the film creates an emotional whole. It's more effective when it's complete than during the unfolding experience.
