Press voices
"Moufida Tlatli schildert einfühlsam die Lebensbedingungen von drei Generationen Musliminnen."
TR 7
"Ein mutiger, kühner, sensibler Film. Moufida Tlatli beobachtet die grossen Leiden und die kleinen Freuden der Frauen mit Zärtlichkeit. Sie ist eine Kämpferin, das ist sicher, aber auch eine Filmkünstlerin. Das spürt man in jedem Moment."
Télérama
"Tlatli interleaves the past and present as naturally as the verses of a song, with a narrative mastery that she makes look easy."
Peter Bradshaw
