A supernatural drama, Atlantics has many themes Mati Diop can explore, but they all get compressed into a short screening.

Atlantics là phim tâm lý – siêu thực về tình yêu, di cư và linh hồn trở về ở Dakar, Senegal.

A great art film that manages to convey its message powerfully yet subtly. This proves that it is possible to address the working class without the contents of class hatred or the unending efforts to move up in society.

This is an extraordinarily slow-moving film, with very attractive actors, which is largely nonsensical (keyed on a romance for which there is no apparent foundation) and the plot of which is very hard to comprehend.

Una atípica historia de fantasmas en el que se combinan el folklor africano, y elementos sociales de aquel continente como la explotación laboral y el matrimonio forzado. Es una de esas películas que se ha de masticar despacio para definirla mejor y encontrarle el sabor. Pero el esfuerzo vale la pena.

A sneaky, subversive ghost story with elegance and grace. “Atlantics” achieves a balance of longing and creepiness that is wholly unexpected, transforming a typical teenage love story into something more sinister and weary. American horror could learn a lot from the film’s light-touch.

This is a zombie movie. If you like that kind of thing, fine, but you should know going into it this is what you're getting. I'm floored why the critic reviews are as high as they are. Ebert would have given it a thumbs up, Siskel a thumbs down.

One of the best films of this year. I like the idea of ocean as a living creature, who can take people's souls forever, but the trip of these souls doesn't stop. They can return to loved ones, but only through other people's bodies. This mystery makes me cold, I like it so much. The Atlantic Ocean is very mysterious and no other ocean has as many secrets as this one, such as Bermuda Triangle and Atlantis... It really scares me, especially after watching the "Atlantique". Cool actors, for example Mame Bineta Sane. Also, I'd like to express special gratitude to Mati Diop and director of photography, as well as to set designers and composer Fatima Al Qadiri... her extraterrestrial soundtrack is one of the greatest of all time.
