4/5
"intelligent enough to understand where history and blood are built into Rwanda but realistic enough to know that forgiveness is a long way off."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

A
"Poignant and authentically moving film."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

3/5
"Two friends in Rwanda dealing with the fallout from the genocide which lingers in their consciousness and souls."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

4/6
"Chekhov’s principle of drama is in full effect, but what’s remarkable about this film is how it slowly steers its way from portent to poetry."  Time Out New York  Keith Uhlich

"For a while, the film concerns itself with the everyday, so much so that the thread of revenge ... seems to be buried under the mere fact of eking out a living."  House Next Door  Keith Uhlich

3.5/4
"There's a patient attentiveness and inquisitiveness to Munyurangabo. that seemingly springs, at least in part, from the cultural divide between Korean-American filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung and his native Rwandan cast, milieu, and language."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

B
"If you can get past the mercurial changes in emotions and the slow pace you'll find a film that has a lot to say about war and peace, hatred and love, revenge and reconciliation"  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten
