Rebecca Nicholson Guardian The Satanic Verses: 30 Years On poses complex and ever pressing questions about free speech, and whether limits should be imposed upon it. Rated: 4/5 Mar 7, 2019 Full Review Hugo Rifkind Times (UK) Azhar has the knack of treading into tricky territory, normally without putting anybody's backs up. Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Sean O'Grady Independent (UK) All of the discussions led by Azhar about the affair's impact are balanced and measured - except at the end of the film, when things get a bit heated. Rated: 3/5 Feb 28, 2019 Full Review Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) Throughout, I couldn't help wondering what the parallels would be in today's climate of offence-taking as digital artform.
