The situation is comic and yet quite serious, as are the ways in which language is used.

Faat Kiné, a 40-year old Senegalese mother of two, decides she will not give into the stigma of single motherhood and instead climbs the ladder of success in a male-dominated field in this cheerful dramedy of simple pleasures.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by A.O. Scott
Sembène is a far more adroit and elegant storyteller than many may be accustomed to seeing.
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Intelligent yet easy-going masterpiece.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Both politically intricate and genuinely hilarious, Faat-Kine is a story grounded in dichotomies.
In every way a sunny film. Supremely affirmative, it ends with the funniest, sexiest close-up of the year.
Wildly entertaining and a visual delight.
A youthful, and often funny, piece of filmmaking. You might never expect that its director is 73 years old.
