Critic Reviews of "Felicite"
San Diego ReaderJanuary 18, 2018Think High Noon set in Kinshasa and backed by a Congolese beat.
Los Angeles TimesNovember 09, 2017Beya ... arrives fully formed here as a figure of enormous dignity and warmth, a pillar of resilience who is nonetheless all-too-humanly susceptible to exhaustion, grief and despair.
RogerEbert.comOctober 27, 2017Félicité has a lyrical spirit that worms its way to the surface even at its most directionless.
New York TimesOctober 26, 2017Mr. Gomis's cinematic style is spectacularly multifaceted. The camerawork and cutting often have the fleetness of a documentary, but there's nothing sloppy about them.
Village VoiceOctober 24, 2017Gomis's handheld cameras work to keep up with the actors, who seem to move with rare freedom, but he also stages some exquisite and complex flourishes ...
AV ClubOctober 24, 2017The film's tonal range is formidable enough to suggest that this director may be a major talent who's now emerging from relative obscurity.
SF WeeklyJanuary 18, 2018Gomis approaches her performances with a gritty, gorgeous series of impressions.
Counterpunch.orgJanuary 16, 2018A neo-realist tale with a soupcon of magical realism that is totally irresistible.
MUBIJanuary 09, 2018...the film doesn't wallow in her dire circumstances and instead celebrates the agency and beauty that exists all around her.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)January 08, 2018[Véro Tshanda] Beya is an unvarnished talent, but she holds the scenario together through the sheer force of her presence
Another GazeDecember 29, 2017The result is a musical and visual feast that is not world-denying, but rather world-affirming in its careful exposition of the quiet pleasures of day-to-day life, and the godly beauty to be found in the resolve of everyday people and relationships.
Denerstein UnleashedDecember 08, 2017In all, Felicite strikes a powerful chord, taking us into a society in which every reward feels hard won.
