“light and radiantly shot new look at a decidedly modern but conflicted Tunis may be just the cure for your own COVID-era blues right now.” (Georgia Straight)

“a window into the cinematic history of Tunisia, and successfully captures a country during changing times…a refreshing and entertaining comedy that illustrates how integral humour is in Tunisian culture.” (Exclaim)

“an incisive comedy about coming home, breaking taboos, and building community…a powerful and compelling performance…develops with an irresistible charm while not sidestepping bigger questions about both a country and a woman at a crossroads.” (TIFF)
