Drama Three Palestinian women living in an apartment in Tel Aviv try to find a balance between traditional and modern culture. (FILMAFFINITY)

	Media	Author	Review
		Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"An end to stereotyped Palestinian women."
		Alissa Simon Variety	"What makes this spiky dramedy so compelling are the Palestinian-Israeli protagonists, whose split lives have rarely been depicted on screen."
		Sarah Ward Screendaily	"An elegant, sensitive yet still assured and potent debut effort (...) A glimpse of the battle faced by women of a younger generation with a crucial fighting spirit."
		Leah Pickett Chicago Reader	"Hamoud keeps the tone relatively light, the women's wit and vibrancy accentuated by a brisk pace and Itay Gross's colorful cinematography"
		Mark Kermode The Guardian	"An inspiring directorial debut (...) Balancing tragicomic relationship blues with sharp sociopolitical observation (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kevin Maher The Times	"[A] ferociously smart feature debut (...) It’s great fun, with a powerful sense of narrative (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		David Parkinson Radio Times	"Subtlety may be at a premium in Maysaloun Hamoud's debut (...) but her points about the status of women in Arab-Israeli society are well worth making (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
