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

Rating: 4.5/5 --
Sissako cuts his searing social realism with significant doses of absurdist comedy and dreamlike beauty.

Dare Daniel
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]

Seventh Row
Told with disarming simplicity, it's a story of terror that quietly emerges from stark beauty.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
This isn't a grand political statement; it's a whispered condemnation that carries with it a great and noble weight.

It's skilful, sardonic, honourably humane. Are those qualities, today, enough?

Product Description:
Abderrahmane Sissako's drama TIMBUKTU tells the story of Kidane (Ibrahim Ahmed), a cattle herder who lives in the mountains outside the titular city with his wife and children. They keep a distance from the religious fundamentalists who control the town, and also grow more and more severe in their leadership as time passes. However, one day the family is forced to confront the growing terror head-on.
