Michael Upchurch Seattle Times 06/15/2017
3/4
Actor Majd Mastoura makes pouting, uptight Hedi a completely unpredictable force in the film, while director Mohamed Ben Attia subtly weaves the seismic social changes brought on by the Arab Spring into this sly, poignant drama. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International 02/09/2017
The performances from the leads, in particular Majd Mastoura as the browbeaten Hedi, are strong. Captured by spry hand-held camera, Mastoura negotiates a bold arc. Go to Full Review Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter 02/09/2017
Quiet but pungent and featuring vibrant performances, it offers further evidence that the rebirth of Tunisian cinema is underway, and after its bow in Berlin competition it should find welcoming art film slots. Go to Full Review Sergio F. Pinilla Cinemanía (Spain) 03/15/2018
