4 stars (Very Good) Simple film about young women's lives and opportunities in one of Islam's most repressive states. Next they will have women's football teams, as in Egypt! Well worth seeing, even if you just want to be entertained. ~Sandy
4 stars (Very Good) Gentle film that illustrates the universal capacity of humans to be driven by a dream. Set in an environment of restrictions on freedom of movement and activity that's unfamiliar to us in New Zealand. Very enjoyable. ~Anon
