Fatima's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Philippe Faucon's latest realist drama explores the challenges facing an Algerian cleaner living in Lyon, and is adapted from books by Fatima Elayoubi.
El País
Faucon also introduces a double intolerance: that of certain Frenchmen, looking over their shoulder at immigrants and their children, and certain Algerians, who deny their integration, in dress, in attitude, in religious beliefs (Or the lack of them), in the studies.
El Mundo
Inspired by the poems and reflections of one of those women of the first generation of immigrants who are committed to offering their daughters a dignified and hopeful future, she articulates an intergenerational portrait overflowing with humanity, with a naturalistic and formally sober vocation that expresses with astonishing accuracy the Feelings of the three protagonists.
Variety
It's a warm and insightful dramedy film about a Moroccan-born mother raising her two teenage daughters in Lyon.
