Sinekatalog’s take
Ousmane Sembène's comedy-drama portrays a strong single mother in Dakar who has raised her children against the odds and faces the modern world. Venus Seye is wonderful in a warm, witty and feminist portrait of post-colonial Senegal.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
