Dennis Harvey Variety While “5 Revolutions” is not an ideal starting place for those unfamiliar with the general conflict’s origins, tangled politics or international repercussions, it provides a powerfully universal sense of life and resistance... May 4, 2023 Full Review Susannah Gruder indieWire It’s a deeply personal depiction of life during wartime, in large part due to Lina’s everpresent voiceover narration. Her diaristic recollections give a loose shape to this otherwise abstract film. Rated: B Jan 30, 2023 Full Review Marya E. Gates RogerEbert.com [Director Lina] points the film's gaze directly on the world that sees what happened in Syria as a burden Jan 24, 2023 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Her footage allows us to feel the slow grind of a regime that will stop at nothing to oppress its populace. Rated: 4/5 Mar 31, 2023 Full Review CJ Sheu The News Lens International The development of political protests, from initial fervor to division and abandonment, is well-trodden territory; ... The greatest significance of this film is as an indirect reminder that the Syrian civil war is still ongoing.
