Jordon Searle Loud and Clear Reviews Hijra expertly weaves together inter-generational relationships, the modern-day experiences of a woman in Saudi Arabia, and the sacred pilgrimage to Mecca. Rated: 4/5 Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About A wonderful movie that opens up the secrets and lies people tell themselves to cope. And because Hijra shows how one young woman learns how to navigate the world, it should be able to get broader distribution and show the world a little more. Sep 14, 2025 Full Review Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye Part affecting tale of female bonding, part perceptive reflection on evolving intergenerational relationships, and part an incisive dissection of class and race in the kingdom, Ameen’s brilliant picture is one of the most daring Saudi films ever made. Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com The observations and vignettes of social dynamics and everyday life that appear in Hijra are a valuable complement to the central story of this valuable film.
