Leave your thoughts about Sonita.
| sbs.com.auAmal AwadTrue to the style of a successful documentary, Sonita has a plotline equal to any of Hollywood's finest hero's journey stories. |
| Seventh RowAlex HeeneyThe music video Sonita shoots about the practice of bride-selling is a highlight of the film. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn appealing documentary about a teenage Afghan refugee living in Tehran who dreams of becoming a successful rapper. |
| Battle Royale With CheeseBenjamin GummeryAn insightful look at the real-life of a refugee struggling against the traditions of her culture. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonThere's often a question mark over how involved a documentarian has become with their subject and here Ghaemmaghami confronts the issue head on, showing how she becomes not just a recorder of what happens but a catalyst for change. |
| Georgia StraightAdrian MackYou won't soon forget the precocious and indomitable subject of Rokhsareh Ghaem Maghami's heart-rending doc. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonA compelling human drama packed with searching questions about artistic responsibility and the nature of charity. |
| Total FilmKevin HarleyMaghami's intervention raises complex questions, but fuels a stirring pay-off. |
| New StatesmanRyan GilbeyGhaemmaghami could be accused of steering the action to make a stronger film but her attempt to save Sonita from being married off is far more important than that. |
| GuardianLeslie FelperinThe kid is a force of nature, and it's impossible not to be swept along by the powerful tide of her story. |
