“…a multifaceted romantic comedy that would satisfy even without any political agenda behind it… memorable in mood, capturing [Ivory Coast]’s brief flicker of post-colonial peaceful prosperity before descending into the modern maelstrom of

Del Rey
“…Me and the Devil Blues not only thoughtfully details the historical underpinnings of its subject matter, but it also evokes the blues itself so effectively that you can practically hear the music reverberating off the plank boards of the 1930s juke joints… exciting, often thought-provoking, and full of surprising and sometimes innovative visuals.” – Graphic
