Mambar Pierrette Ratings & Reviews
Battleship Pretension
David Bax
What makes all of this work is that it's not a work of patronizing miserablism, despite the many travails that make up Pierrette's life both before and during the film's time frame.
The Film Stage
Edward Frumkin
Mbakam's minimalist aesthetics demolish the binary between nonfiction and fiction to reflect Pierrette's flawed, humane intentions across the nurturers from many settings.
New York Times
Beatrice Loayza
Mbakam hits a remarkable balance. The sociopolitical truths that make up Pierrette's losing streak are evident, without the miserable patronizing so common in films about struggle in Africa.
In Review Online
Shar Tan
The drudgery of financial precarity exists alongside moments of joy, which prevents Mbakam's film from being overly gratuitous in depicting the continual cruelty that Mambar is dealt.
Elements of Madness
Douglas Davidson
This is a delicate, slow-moving drama driven by [actor] Pierrette's quiet yet no less powerful performance which will have you reconsider the ways in which you engage with the people who are most significant to you.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
It's a narrative in the vein of the starkest Neo-realism -- unfussy, sobering, even frustratingly phlegmatic. And yet, in this stark sensibility of "life goes on" despite everything, Mbakam maintains a sense of resiliency rather than miserabilism.
