Helen T. Verongos New York Times 05/10/2019
It's rare that a director's first feature film, accomplished with an ensemble of nonprofessional actors, proves to be as quietly powerful as Jean-Bernard Marlin's simple but lyrical "Shéhérazade." Go to Full Review Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter 05/14/2018
Gritty romantic realism in the French tradition. Go to Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International 05/11/2018
While its theme may be over-worked in French cinema, this tough debut feature from director Jean-Bernard Marlin evokes its world...with hot, nervy intensity, genuine emotional charge and an impressive non-professional cast. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider 05/13/2019

09/27/2020 Loved the story. Loved the struggle. That displayed true young love. Realistic movie See more 06/15/2020 Shéhérezade is great for its gritty realism, but is the story compelling? Zach just keeps messing up except for the one redeeming moment near the end. See more 04/02/2020 Filmed in beautiful style typical of french arthouse, the story follows the life of a young teenage man grappling with social morality between a world he has hustled to be his life support and the good that he knows. The romanticism tinted with teenage angst will bring you to your knees and shake you with catharsis as we follow always on the cusp of hope for redemption, as he naively delves deeper into the corroding underbelly of the hustle.
