A beautifully animated and thoughtful film despite not having much story

El Pais (Spain)

The image is a luxury. And although its narrative is dispersed too much... its poetic treatment of the social issue and its search for freedom make Sultana's Dream an undeniable anomaly. [Full review in Spanish]

Eye for Film

Sultana's Dream's dense philosophical backbone proves quite meandering in places but even if not every abstract idea hits the target, the animation is always on point.

Rated: 3.5/5

What really stands out is not the story but the involving, enchanting manner of its telling.
