A Prophet

About the film

"As epic as The Godfather." -Kevin Maher,The London Times "Like The Godfather, which it regularly recalls, A Prophet serves up crime as a metaphor for life and power…" -John Anderson, Wall Street Journal "The film's hero is a cousin to the protagonists of The Godfather or Scarface, but the movie writes its gangland saga without phony mob glamour." - Robert Horton, Everett Herald "If Malik doesn't remind you of Al Pachino's Michael Corleone on his journey from innocence to corruption in The Godfather saga, well…he should. A Prophet is similarly, startlingly momentous." -Stephen Rea, The Philadelphia Inquirer "A Prophet is a new crime classic." -Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "4 out of 4 stars." -Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "A stylish revelation, recalling The Godfather…" -James Verniere, The Boston Herald "A Prophet is Godfather good…" -Karen Durbin, Elle "A Godfather saga set behind bars, Audiard's riveting tale of a young Arab's rise within the inmate hierarchy is as compelling as filmmaking gets." -Paul Ennis, Now Magazine
