Hyenas Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Mambety doesn't just point to the evil but fully implicates himself in it-as is shown by the fact that he himself plays the former judge now working as a servant to the rich. Maybe he's saying something about making movies as well.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Jas Keimig
The film falls somewhere between satire, drama, and comedy.
In Review Online
Mattie Lucas
A haunting, dreamlike, often absurd morality play, told with roguish mischievousness that only Mambéty could conjure.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
This comic masterpiece about a wealthy woman who plunges an African village into chaos is definite in its targets (the persistence of colonialism as consumerism, especially) but universal in its consideration of human existence as both tragedy and farce.

Sarah Boslaugh
Mambéty has spoken of his film as portraying the corrupting influence of Western influence and money on African countries, but there's more than one way to interpret the story.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A wicked skewering of both the rich and those who seek their handouts.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
Djibril Diop Mambéty's 1992 film resonates primarily for its lacerating comedic writing and pacing.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Charles Mudede
The greatest film made by a black African is Djibril Diop Mambéty's Hyenas.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Dark political satire about corruption is set in Western Africa.
