Stephen Silver Splice Today It's about a woman's coming of age and determining what it means to be a young woman in her exact position at that time in history, and on that level I thought it worked. Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Michelle K Pomegranate is a remarkable film! It's emotionally rich, beautifully acted, and deeply relevant. From the first scene, I was completely drawn into Niran’s world. Her journey of self-discovery, cultural navigation, and inner healing is powerful, relatable, and inspiring. The film captures the delicate balance between honoring tradition and forging one’s own path, and it does so with honesty, heart, and depth. The performances are outstanding. The actress portraying Niran delivers a raw and authentic portrayal that anchors the film, and the supporting cast adds rich layers to the story. Every moment feels lived-in and real. I found myself laughing out loud in some scenes and crying in others — it’s that emotionally engaging. The cinematography is beautiful, and I appreciated the setting being true to the story's location in Michigan. There’s a tangible sense of place that adds to the film’s overall authenticity. Weam Namou’s work as writer and director is exceptional. She brings forward important cultural narratives with such grace and insight, giving voice to women’s experiences in a way that’s both timely and timeless. Her storytelling is deeply needed, and Pomegranate is proof of how powerful representation can be on screen. Pomegranate is uplifting and unforgettable. Highly recommended!
