Roxana Hadadi Pajiba Documentary Saudi Women's Driving School goes hard on girl power moments, but its attempt at objectivity sometimes feels artificial. Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Joel Keller Decider Saudi Women's Driving School takes a positive look at changing mores in a country we don't see a lot of, but not without addressing the larger problems that are still apparent. Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Absolutely fascinating. Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice One small step forward for the rights of Saudi women. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Natasha Alvar Cultured Vultures Gornall's documentary has a mediated approach to a contentious, hot button issue, but spreads itself too thin trying to cover all the perspectives and stakeholders involved. Rated: 7/10 Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film [Erica] Gornall's film captures the sense of wonder that comes from expanded horizons and the simple pleasure of hitting the road. Rated: 4/5 Oct 21, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I thought it was a good approach to use the issue of driving to introduce the overall conditions in Saudi Arabia, and provide information from both sides. Regardless, the Guardianship Rule seem like a terrible human rights violation, as does the arrest and imprisonment of women (and men?) who speak out. I'm glad there have been what I call improvements in the society, and I sincerely hope they continue. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
