Katie Rife RogerEbert.com Feb 2, 2024
3/4
With “She Is Conann,” the writer-director reinforces this fantastical architecture with a clear, propulsive story arc, and the result is his best work to date. Go to Full Review
Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle Feb 1, 2024
3.5/5
She Is Conann is a politically charged, blood-, sex-, and tears-soaked sword, carving through the helpless arteries to the heart of cinematic mediocrity, and it is Mandico’s strongest vision yet. Go to Full Review
Beatrice Loayza New York Times Feb 1, 2024
It’s more of a fever dream than an actual story, offering a queer counternarrative to the macho vision of the legendary warrior that is as hypnotic as it is gnarly. Go to Full Review

9/10
She Is Conann is a brutal ouroboros of human judgment in a world that feels more forewarningly preternatural than logical. Go to Full Review
Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness May 6, 2024
3.5/5
Devoid of the mostly harmless entertainment that are the Schwarzenegger tales, Mandico’s "She Is Conann "will prompt you to reconsider the ways in which you embrace violence, asking you to sit with the discomfort you find in the process. Go to Full Review

5/5
... a film that is mesmerizing, beautiful, and makes one wonder about many things in life. Go to Full Review

Ron A @Lordast111 Jan 28, 2026 Couldn't finish the movie. I think it probably works for some people, but if you enjoyed any of the previous movie, you won't care for this one. See more
Logan D @Greynomad38 Jan 23, 2026 The barbarian woman Conann is reborn throughout the ages due to a bargain she made with Rainer, a dog-like person of questionable motives. This visually stylish film takes its inspiration from Howard's famous barbarian and that's about the extent of influence. It's more of a time traversing feminist avant-garde fable in which I'm not sure what the message is. There is no plot logic here, just symbolism. I found the bursts of color interesting in this mostly B&W feature. Far more interesting than entertaining, I think, and unapologetically batshit. See more
Aldis H @plever May 14, 2024 Another French piece of garbage, all cheesy style and no substance, that is monumentally pseudo-symbolic and -serious, but every line is as cliché and/or unimaginative as you can possibly get. The writing is amateurish in the extreme. I could only get about halfway through. This is complete ess H eye tee. See more
John Clark @JonCnstuff Feb 18, 2024 Genuinely have never seen anything like this before. Dazzling, disgusting, oh so badass. The psychedelics of the world will worship this film. See more
Donnie K @RT80687226 Feb 12, 2024 It's.......a lot. I enjoyed what it was going for but certainly fits into the art installation > narrative section of movies. See more
