Touda only dreams of one thing: being a Sheikha, a traditional Moroccan performer empowered by the lyrics of the fierce female poets who came before her -- with their songs of resistance, love and emancipation. Performing every evening in provincial bars under the lustful gaze of men, Touda plans to set her sights on leaving her small town for the bright lights of Casablanca where she hopes to be recognized as a true artist and also secure a better future for her and her son.

Guy Lodge Variety With scene after scene conceived to emphasize Touda’s strength of character and depth of talent, it’s just as well star Nisrin Erradi is sufficiently magnetic not to buckle under the weight of the film’s devotion to her. May 19, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Touda handles its themes of sexual politics a little crudely... But the film crackles with energy every time Erradi opens her mouth to sing. May 19, 2024 Full Review Esther Zuckerman indieWire I left immersed in Touda’s story, but still itching to learn more about the Sheikhat. A film has no duty to cater to outsiders, but “Everybody Loves Touda” keeps them at an arm’s length. Rated: B May 17, 2024 Full Review James Mottram The National (UAE) Everybody Loves Touda is a euphoric watch, driven by Erradi, who handles the emotional heft of the film as competently as she manages the musical numbers. Rated: 4/5 Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Katie Hogan FILMHOUNDS Magazine Overall, Everyone Loves Touda is a story we all know so well, but story issues aside, the real joy here is the music. Rated: 3/5 Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Ali Benzekri AwardsWatch The film’s success hinges significantly on the exceptional performance of its lead actress, Nisrine Erradi. Rated: B May 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
