The Story of Souleymane

"An award-winning performance by a first-time actor."

"Rare character study that does not only build empathy with its hero’s pain but channels its sensation."

"Bolstered by a strong leading performance..."

"Refreshingly human."

"Avoids becoming a moral fable about good and bad characters."

"Abou Sangaré is magnificent as Souleymane...He is on screen for virtually every second, and he holds your attention without fail."

"Narrative is pacy and moves like an edge-of-the-seat thriller."

"Leaves us wondering what making it even means if you lose so much of yourself in the process."

"Intelligent and empathetic."
