      David Hughes Time Out Snow Hnin finds grace notes of optimism to offset the bitterness of the film’s backdrop... it makes Midwives a thoughtful, empathetic and powerful insight into the region – and its women. Rated: 4/5 Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Jamison Kent Little White Lies Although uncomfortable to watch, the film offers incredible insight into the Rohingya Crisis. Rated: 3/5 Sep 30, 2022 Full Review Leslie Felperin Financial Times Interlaced with remarkable, citizen-shot footage of military crackdowns in which people in the street are shot at, this unflinching work shows how conflict pulls people apart and — also sometimes brings them together. Rated: 3/5 Sep 29, 2022 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) A beautiful, life affirming documentary. Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Fascinating documentary by Burmese director Snow Hnin Ei Hlaing. Rated: B Jun 4, 2022 Full Review Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound Filmed over the course of five years, Hlaing really gets to the heart of these two women’s stories by not intruding in their lives.
