RTBitch MediaMar 2, 2021

Fifty-one years after its initial release, this seminal film remains hauntingly relevant.

Moira MacDonald

RTSeattle TimesJul 28, 2016

A remarkable personal-is-political drama, set in barely postcolonial Senegal and France.

J

Jordan Hoffman

RTGuardianMay 18, 2016

Black Girl radiates with an expressive tone, despite some script compression and the typical production obstacles of a mid-60s independent film.

Sembène demonstrates his aesthetic prowess to interrogate the oppression and social condition of the Senegalese immigrant in the postcolonial period, but its simplistic narration often remains on an overly contrived surface. [Full review in Spanish]
