4/5
Symbolically speaking, Three songs for Benazir is a thriller in the sense that you-the viewers-are invested in the primary character's life and how he almost makes it to the other side of the barbed wires. Go to Full Review Sabrina McFarland Common Sense Media 01/25/2022

Mikoaj L @mikesgold2K 01/04/2023 Brudny, naturalistyczny świat Afganistanu został tutaj bardzo dobrze oddany, jednak kuleje sama historia, którą chcieli opowiedzieć twórcy See more 06/12/2022 Tão lindinho, simples, delicado, real, dolorido, trágico, singelo, apaixonante, real… Gostaria que se aprofundassem um pouco mais nas motivações de Benazir para ingressar no exército Afegão e "abandonar" a esposa e o filho ainda bebê, sei que vai além do amor pela pátria e da possibilidade de dar uma vida um pouco melhor para ambos, pois enfrentara toda a família e comunidade, que não o apoiava… Lindo documentário... See more jona i @RT86387422 04/09/2022 A strong, unique documentary. Specific and troubled. A real life story that is heartbreaking yet universal. Though it is a documentary, the storytelling is incredibly well-structured. See more 03/26/2022 It starts a little slow but a great finish. Tells the tale of millions of afghans who were and are dealing with this menace perfectly. See more 02/15/2022 Short but affecting documentary with a last act twist that makes you wish it were longer. See more Read all reviews
