Marya E. Gates RogerEbert.com Although the filmmakers succeed in humanizing these girls, slightly less fussy editing would have given the film’s weighty themes more room to breathe. Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Nadia Fall‘s debut feature seems on the surface like a hot-button provocation, but it’s surprisingly humane and good-humored in its attempt to understand the individual lives behind a sensational headline issue. Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Fionnuala Halligan Screen International Part of what makes Brides so engaging -- and not in a passive way -- is its closeness to the truth: not just of the Begum story, but life truths. Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Taylor Gates Collider Brides is an original and bold coming-of-age story that features two star-making performances from its young leads. Though the editing and structural choices weaken its overall impact, It's still an impactful — and, at times, even oddly enjoyable — watch. Rated: 7/10 Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage [Brides] gets straight to the point without having to be completely obvious and evident. A huge, huge achievement by Nadia Fall with Brides. [Full review in Spanish] Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Courtney Small That Shelf Brides may flirts with themes of infatuation, independence, and extremism, but this tale of friendship is reluctant to fully marry itself to any one of its ideas.
