Strange Fruit was described in France as being "like living statues soaring between heaven and earth... their heads in the sky, hearts close to the sun... brilliantly eclectic images that pay homage to Michelangelo, Mary Poppins, Folon, and Magritte." In Germany it was hailed as captivating audiences with "fascinating images, breathtaking dynamics, athletic movement, evocative gestures and illuminating faces - as if they strived to capture and tame the wind itself".
