Documentary Saudi Women's Driving School goes hard on girl power moments, but its attempt at objectivity sometimes feels artificial. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 10/25/2019
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. Go to Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said 10/25/2019

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. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 10/21/2019

01/13/2020 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. See more Read all reviews
