Entertainment Reviews:
A useful and entertaining overview of Sembène's life and career

Austin Chronicle
Mr. Sembène was an inspiration; as a film, "Sembène!" is something less than that, petering out as it goes on, but at least offering a fair-minded tribute to a master.

Rating: 6.5/10 --
Sembene! is too dry and formal to be lovable, but it makes its point emphatically, paying tribute to a filmmaker whose pugnaciousness was both a gift and a curse.

The material is fascinating, particularly with Sembène the first African to make a film in Africa for an African audience.

One Room With A View
Interweaving animation, clips from feature films, photographs and archival footage, the film traces Sembene's amazing journey from WWII to international recognition as the "father of African film."
