| Montreal GazetteBill BrownsteinThis is the harrowing story of the attempted honour killing - by her own family - of a young woman who chose love over an arranged marriage. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordNominee for Oscar Best Documentary Short 2016 |
| User ReviewNick U3/9/16 HBO Winner 2016 Oscar for Best Documentary Short and well deserved. A fascinating and well told story of a strange but often invoked cultural phenomena of honor killings. Over 1,000 women a year in Pakistan are killed in this fashion by parents or relatives of women and girls who have "dishonored" their family. On the surface your first reaction is revulsion but this film does show the tremendous cultural pressure society brings in these cases. That in no way excuses the act but it is more complex than it seems. This is a great film and hopefully, it shines a light that might help turn this around and bring that society into the 21st century. |
| User ReviewNicole GVery well done.....sad but that is to be expected. You really feel for this girl throughout and it is amazing to see the perspective of her parents and sister. I mean, you know the culture, but it is still shocking to see. |
| User ReviewClaudette ATragic documentsry. Sad, frightening and very scary that this is happening today. |
| User ReviewJohn MOscar winner. Hard to have any sympathy for these backward cultures just stuck in Abrahamic times. Just so sad! |
| User ReviewGreg RPhenomenal look at honor killings in Pakistan |
| User ReviewShawn SThis is startling, infuriating and discouraging. |
