Becca Voelcker Sight & Sound Hirori is careful to underplay neither Mahmud and his male colleagues' tireless compassion nor the complicity of Daesh women who we witness concealingsabayafromrescuers. Dec 3, 2021 Full Review Christian Blauvelt IndieWire A documentary by way of a "Bourne" movie, but so much more an act of daring. Rated: A Aug 22, 2021 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International A riveting documentary which is as tense as it is revealing. Aug 22, 2021 Full Review Sarah Vincent Cambridge Day The film also devotes time to the rescued as they slowly reclaim their individual identities, physical appearance and emotional and ideological freedoms. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Cody Dericks Next Best Picture Beyond being informative, it is a harrowing and surprisingly exhilarating portrait of survival, retrieval, and justice. Rated: 7/10 Jul 8, 2022 Full Review Phil Guie Film-Forward.com It's alternately raw, angry, and bitter, but never anything less than powerful and intimate. Rated: 4.5/5 Feb 27, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
