Movie Reviews

Shadows on the Wall - 8/10 by Rich ClineIt's an entertaining and eye-opening doc.
Time Out - 8/10 by Anna SmithSalim Shaheen is known as 'the Ed Wood of Afghanistan', so this documentary is as eccentric as you might expect.
The Big Issue - 8/10 by Edward Lawrenson[Salim] Shaheen is a force of nature, and a true cinematic maverick, and the documentary is a hoot.
Guardian - 8/10 by Peter Bradshaw[A] funny and affectionate documentary portrait of veteran Afghan movie mogul Salim Shaheen: actor, producer, director and creator of more than 100 features.
Daily Express (UK) - 8/10 by Allan HunterBy the end, you come to admire the man and his indomitable, infectious spirit.
Times (UK) - 8/10 by Kevin MaherIt's darkly amusing, sometimes uplifting... but deliberately dodges feel-good clichés.
Sunday Independent (Ireland) - 8/10 by Aine O'ConnorKronlund's chain-smoking presence in the doc works well, her genuine anxiety over safety in the still violent country contrasting with Salim's very visible disregard for caution.
Sunday Times (UK) - 8/10 by Edward PorterSonia Kronlund's film about him not only captures a portrait of a marvellous striver, but gives us glimpses of Afghan society.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Dan JolinBy turns amusing and harrowing, and with a compelling figure at its heart, The Prince Of Nothingwood proves how the show really can go on, no matter how terrible the circumstances.
Irish Times - 8/10 by Donald ClarkeAlthough a tiny bit repetitive, Prince of Nothingwood thrives on the vibrancy of its personal portraits.
