Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

It is best to let this stunning film simply wash over you and trust that all will become clear enough in time. Vengo in a sense is a concert film tied together with the slenderest of plots. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

Feels like a song you may have heard before, but one whose aching beauty makes it endlessly listenable. Read full review

J. Hoberman

Gatlif's latest celebration of gypsy soul, sets a modest sliver of narrative in a fabulous widescreen landscape and surrounds it with a permanent party. Read full review

Hazel-Dawn Dumpert

On its own, the story is tepid, and less than original. What draws us in is the way in which Gatlif sets it against a rich Andalusian backdrop. Read full review

Patrick Z. McGavin

Filled with dazzling moments, Vengo never quite reaches the heights those moments promise. Read full review

Bob Graham

There may be no more unusual movie around than Vengo. Read full review

Jonathan Foreman

Neither convincing nor remotely dramatic. Read full review
