Critic Reviews

William Arnold

Movie is so hip-swingingly infectious and leaves us with such a high that it's hard not to suspect that -- handled right -- it could well become the fall version of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Read full review

Desson Thomson

Although the movie is slow-going at first, it gradually awakens, like Lilia. And then it dances. Read full review

Manohla Dargis

Patrick Z. McGavin

A fascinating examination of the joyous, turbulent self-discovery made by a proper, middle-aged woman. Read full review

David Sterritt

Sincere acting and heartfelt filmmaking add energy to this unassuming Tunisian drama. Read full review

New Times (L.A.) Gregory Weinkauf

The nuances of the performances -- in dialogue and dance -- and the rich, organic feel of the locations mark Amari as a director of significant promise. Read full review

Maitland McDonagh
