4/5
"Born of indignation, Bamako bears devastating witness to the iniquities of free trade and globalisation from a Malian perspective."  Channel 4 Film  Anton Bitel

2/4
"After the resonant and lyrical experience of Sissako's criminally unseen Waiting for Happiness, which could have been an alternate title for Bamako, this new film represents a colossal downgrade."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

4/5
"A gritty and gutsy examination of how African nations are suffering incredible hardships and poverty under the boots of Western globalization policies."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

4.5/5
"Yes, this is strong stuff, but spoken in an articulate, measured, passionate West African voice, it's impossible to ignore."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline
