'The Woman with the Knife' attempts something ambitious and is, naturally, impressive for a 1969 Ivorian film. With that noted, it did lose me the longer it went on - which, for an 80 minute movie, isn't the best sign. I don't have anything major against it, mind.
It's just not for me and all that. I did appreciate the visuals of the film, I think it looks the part in fairness. The acting is also satisfactory, certainly passable in my books. If I was to mention an out-and-out negative it would be the editing, which is a little choppy in parts; mainly at the end.
I can't honestly say I enjoyed this '69 release, it kinda went around in circles a bit in my opinion. It holds my respect and I'd file it under worth watching.
