“This mamma will move you to tears.” 4/5 – The Times UK
“There’s a strong basis of originality here, and the warmth and good nature of the movie carries it along.” 4/5 – The Guardian
“The sudden acknowledgement that a person you once loved doesn’t exist anymore can knock the wind out of you, and Dunne captures that breathless free fall beautifully.” TIME Magazine
“This is a feminist movie with a Sisyphean dimension that’s disquietingly universal.” New York Times
“Co-written and directed with sensitivity and visual flair by Anne Zohra Berrached, Copilot puts an intimate spin on the devastating events of 9/11.” 4/5 – Empire Magazine
“A lyrical exploration of a woman’s emotional endurance.” 4/5 – Little White Lies
“This small, delicate, late-blooming film is quite lovely, and a throwback to the 1990s/2000s craze for semi-improvised, rough and ready indie film-making.” 4/5 – The Guardian
“A soulful, uplifting, but also heartbreaking look at race and poverty’s impact on troubled childhood.” 3/4 – Roger Ebert
“What makes this simple story special is the style that the writer and director Alexandre Rockwell brings to the screen.” New York Times
“It is a brilliant, subversive account of class relations and the changing times.” 5/5 – The Guardian
“The drama is masterfully done and exquisitely played.” 4/5 – The Times (UK)
“Glaciers might be melting, the polar caps might be crumbling, but not even the passage of half a century has taken the frozen edge off this brilliantly icy film.” Los Angeles Times
