Leah Pickett Chicago Reader 08/17/2017
[Okwui] Okpokwasili uses song, dance, and soliloquy to explore, with a political edge, the intricacies of black girlhood, and onstage she's a magnetic force, physically commanding and emotionally raw. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 07/17/2017
Despite some undeniably powerful moments, Bronx Gothic, both the show and the film, suffers from an overall pretension. Go to Full Review Matt Fagerholm RogerEbert.com 07/12/2017
3.5/4
A stirring ode to the liberating catharsis of artistic expression, as embodied by Okpokwasili and Born's transcendent theatrical masterwork. Go to Full Review Seph Rodney Hyperallergic 02/07/2020
I think every living human being alive right now should see this film. Go to Full Review Andrea Thompson Cultured Vultures 01/30/2019
It's a far superior work to Manifesto, another conceptual art film, mostly because the artist doesn't have the luxury of cool, aloof detachment. But it leaves quite a few unanswered questions. Go to Full Review Armond White National Review 07/14/2017
Bronx Gothic...follows the usual pattern of Hollywood's imprisoning blacks within the limits of white liberal imagination...Rossi's liberalism - his whitesplaining - intrudes on his star's storytelling. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
