John Anderson Variety Salma might have been treated with a kind of knee-jerk triumphalism, but the helmer has an uncanny ability to achieve intimacy with her subjects. Jan 22, 2013 Full Review B. Ruby Rich Film Quarterly A haunting look at one remarkable woman's survival and triumph. Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Michelle da Silva Georgia Straight Salma is equal parts alarming and inspiring. May 3, 2017 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh Playback:stl ...a beautiful film and a celebration of the spirit and dignity of women who have not let themselves be defined by their circumstances.
