Inspired by real-life events, Brides follows two alienated British Muslim teenagers, Doe and Muna, who leave the UK for Syria in search of belonging, freedom, and purpose. Instead of offering a simplistic tale of radicalization, the film delivers a deeply empathetic and complex portrait of girlhood, friendship, and alienation in modern Britain.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Oct 7
Both young actors are terrific; their friendship is a mercurial and fiery thing given to flame-outs and smouldering sulks. Go to Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Sep 30
2/5
Fall is an instinctive visual storyteller, the two leads have a winning chemistry, and the location shooting in Istanbul is vivid and authentic. Just a shame the film is less so. Go to Full Review Kate Stables Sight & Sound Sep 26
This is a film about friendship, not fanaticism – a ride-or-die friendship, which saved the girls in the hostile UK, but which jeopardises them as the stakes get higher. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Maisy G Sep 26 Empathetic, thought-provoking, and well acted. Safiyya Ingar's performance really stood out to me. I'd definitely recommend it, but I do wish it went more in depth on how specifically Doe got radicalised, how did she find the man who offered to take her and Muna to Syria, etc. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Sep 26 Success in 1 hour and 33 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
