Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Politics and sensuality make for intriguing bedfellows in "Foreign Body," Raja Amari's accomplished survival tale about an undocumented young Tunisian woman finding her identity in France. Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Pamela Pianezza Variety Traditional yet interesting ... Sep 14, 2016 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter Tries but often struggles to properly fuse the personal and the political. Sep 9, 2016 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The performances are great, the music emotional, the story touching. Rated: 5/5 Apr 19, 2020 Full Review Josh Cabrita Cinema Scope What we have instead is a film that exists in limbo, a bold statement whimpered by a quivering voice. Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Susan G. Cole NOW Toronto Writer/director Amari adeptly captures the anxiety of the undocumented, and star Hannachi expertly conveys Samia's shifts from panicked to poised. However, the characters make choices that border on the nonsensical. Rated: 3/5 Sep 9, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
