Peter Debruge Variety Feb 26, 2019
[Interweaves] a compelling direct-to-camera interview with Cornelius Walker with equally powerful reenactment footage of his adolescence in Essex, where the young Nigerian immigrant learned to hate the color of his own skin. Go to Full Review
Gerald Peary Arts Fuse Feb 21, 2019
Black Sheep, directed by Ed Perkins, combines an arresting monologue by Cornelius Walker... with well-done dramatic recreations of his earlier life trying, in questionable ways, to "fit in" to his new country. Go to Full Review
Glenn Heath Jr. San Diego CityBeat Feb 19, 2019
Told through a stirring first-person interview with the main subject, it makes for an apt companion piece to Yance Ford's Strong Island. Go to Full Review
Josh Terry Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Feb 12, 2019
Ed Perkins and Jonathan Chinn's film intercuts between Cornelius' direct-to-camera narrative and dramatized re-enactments, allowing Cornelius to share a gripping and disturbing story. Go to Full Review

Hagrid S Feb 20, 2019 Documentary short. The confessional narration by the subject is pretty compelling... however the various filmed reenactment sequences are kindof cheesily made and unconvincing. See more
