Tim Grierson Screen International The film weaves a spell from its opening frames, growing more lovely and thought-provoking as its characters drift into a nocturnal netherworld in which their deep-seated fears and desires start rising to the surface. Dec 4, 2023 Full Review Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye This is a feast for the senses.Its subtle politics,however,is its strongest asset,exploring female sexuality and self-autonomy; gender fluidity and polyamory;and the schism between the free nature of art and the restrictive reality of Arab societies.
