This isn't a grand political statement; it's a whispered condemnation that carries with it a great and noble weight.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
Rating: 5/5 --
It has some of the same comic absurdism that ran through Chris Morris's Four Lions, but the satire is combined with lyricism and a sense of mounting tragedy.

Rating: 4/5 --
A beautiful drama fuelled by a sense of urgent and righteous anger. But there's sadness here as well as hope.

As the story of a cross-section of the people living under the occupation of misogynistic Islamist extremists, you might expect Abderrahmane Sissako's Timbuktu to be bleak . It's the opposite. [TOP 50 FILMS OF THE DECADE]

Abderrahmane Sissako watches as traditional life, in harmony with a beautiful landscape, is destroyed by the invaders' rules and Sharia.

For a film that makes you sick with dread, Timbuktu has a light, at times glancing touch.
