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 Dillon Gonzales Geek Vibes Nation Nadia Fall has crafted a heartbreaking feature debut with Brides. The experience of viewing this movie is like watching a car crash in slow motion you are powerless to stop. Rated: 7/10 Aug 24, 2025 Full Review Stefania Sarrubba The Skinny Brides attempts to fill the gaps and find some shreds of empathy in sensationalised news stories, striking a chord with tenderness and levity. Rated: 3/5 Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Marissa Hill Shade Studios [Brides]’ unpredictable journey, combined with its exploration of themes of trust, loyalty, and perseverance, makes it a good watch.
