fresh:
The most radical and cheering message of Wadjda is that a change isn't just possible, but inevitable.
– Ann Hornaday,

fresh:
"Wadjda" earns extra points just for being what it is. Who knew that, in a country that famously frowns on women driving cars, some are even allowed to make movies?
– John Hartl,

fresh:
This delightful debut feature by a Saudi woman named Haifaa Al-Mansour uses a bicycle as a metaphor for freedom within a social circumference.
– Joe Williams,

A sweet little film about the human spirit, about want and energy and determination against unfair odds.

In Saudi filmmaker Haifaa al-Mansour's winsome wonder Wadjda, a young girl's aspirations provide an intimate glimpse into the possibilities and limitations of a cloaked culture.
