A document of vexing (and vexed) immediacy.
A small, direct, tantalizing documentary.
The tone is attentive and responsible.
A highly provocative documentary.
Reminds you that marital discord knows no geographic boundaries.
An illuminating depiction of Islamic women that is entirely at odds with what we are often lead to believe.
A rare example of a successful documentary in the mode of Frederick Wiseman made outside the United States.
