Even when the pace slows to a crawl, the island's gentle mood is appealing.
An absorbing, spirited film that merits considerable respect.
Daughters' impressionistic look at the Great Migration (who will go, who will stay, and at what cost?) combines a corporeal sense of history with poetic, often indirect and allegorical underpinnings.
Daughters of the Dust is a film with a lot on its mind, but one that wears its agendas with lyrical lightness.
Its examination of a bygone way of life is so patient and evocative, so beholden to its own storytelling conventions and rhythms, that watching it is a bit like submitting to a form of time travel.
Daughters of the Dust abounds with stunning motifs and tableaux, the iconography seemingly sourced from dreams as much as from history and folklore.
Audience Reviews for Daughters of the Dust
A Top Ten Independent Film In My Book. Outstanding movie, a eye opener to some unkown history in the United States. Acting was incredable, Kino always has good productions. If you can find it buy it, Or Rent from Net Flix.
Super Reviewer
A very unique film and a valuable addition to the canon of great films on slavery.
