❝I want you to be the happiest person in the world. You’re all I have left in this world.❞

I read the book adaptation of Wadjda when I was younger, and only recently found out that it's based on the film, so I decided to give this a watch as I remember pretty much everything that happened in the novel. The plot was very good, and it showed a thorough snapshot of life for girls like Wadjda, but a lot of elements that made the book great were missing, like the sense of girl/womanhood within the restrictions of society and the bond she had with Abdullah and with Fatin and Fatima; I also felt that the film rushed through Wadjda's preparation for the competition. However, the cast were fantastic, especially Reem Abdullah (who's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen), and for the most part captured the complexities of their characters. Overall, though I think I prefer the book, Wadjda is a nice film that's simultaneously heart-wrenching and uplifting, and I'd certainly rewatch it.

preciosa película!

La vi cuando era pequeña y quedó inscrita en mi memoria, como un recuerdo que se asimila más a un sueño pero que siempre regresa a mi mente.

Ahora entiendo la razón de su impacto en mí, quizás siempre fui feminista.

Wadjda looking for her name in the family tree saw right through me. When I was around her age, I also used to look for my name in my family tree. I watched this in honour of International Women’s Day because Haifaa Al Mansour, you are an inspirational woman.

Really liked this one. This movie is as great window to other cultures for bad and good.
