Leave your thoughts about Dukhtar.
| Minneapolis Star TribuneAlex NelsonRooting for the safety of the sweet girl, heroic trucker, and vulnerable mother will have you on the edge of your seat. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsWith its stark imagery and characterizations, the film often feels like a folktale, even though it takes place in the present and addresses ongoing social concerns. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonA gripping story from a place where women are less than second-class citizens that insists that they are, in fact, people who deserve to live as they please. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA depiction of the enduring mother-daughter bond as a Pakistani mother saves her daughter from an arranged marriage. |
| Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada)Michael D. ReidPakistani filmmaker Afia Nathaniel tackles a difficult subject -- child marriages -- with admirable restraint in her impressive feature debut, as emotionally involving as it is visually spectacular. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectOddly enough, a plot similar to "Mad Max: Fury Road" but a million times more interesting--and by a first-time director, no less. |
| User ReviewSarinda PA gripping story that deals with real issues. Beautiful cinematography, and a beautiful film. |
| User ReviewAranya SDo you have a daughter? the mother asks. No, he replies. Then you wouldn't understand, she says during their flight from an arranged marriage of her 10-year-old daughter to a grandfather-aged man in the mountains of Pakistan to end a blood-filled tribal feud. Dukhtar, which means daughter, is a triumph in cinematography and the ultimate sacrifice a mother will make for her daughter.The actors are perfectly chosen for their roles --- from Saleha Aref as the love-has-no-end mother, to her stunning daughter Samiya Mumtaz and their fierce protector Mohib Mirza. |
| User ReviewSaima AA fun film with punch and energy that never lets go, all impeccably shot within a mesmerizing backdrop of rural Pakistan. |
| User ReviewRB RImpressive scenery and very touching subject. With this movie, Afia Nathaniel takes the viewers on an a journey in which drama and suspense armoniously intertwine accompanied by highly evocative music. Highly recommended. |
