Hedi's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
On one level Hedi is a universal story, about a young man needing to choose between duty and passion.
Cine Premiere
'Hedi' is an intense drama of personal liberation splendidly acted.
The Hollywood Reporter
Quiet but pungent and featuring vibrant performances, it offers further evidence that the rebirth of Tunisian cinema is underway.
Screen Daily
The performances from the leads, in particular Majd Mastoura as the browbeaten Hedi, are strong.
El Mundo
Ben Attia gets a debut perfectly executed.
ABC
We have seen (...) films about the repression suffered by women under a certain conception of Islam. The novelty of this film is to remind us that repression also affects the other contracting party.
Cinemanía
'Hedi' turns the individual into the metaphor of a country, into the metaphor of a world, if you hurry, that is torn between tradition and modernity and strangled in the class struggle
El País
The film has the singularity of focusing on male suffocation in a society of Muslim tradition.
Fotogramas
Hedi (Majd Mastoura) is starring lethargic conviction of desire between his freedom and the prize of stifling tradition.
Caimán Cuadernos de Cine
'Hedi' denounces the hypocrisy of a society that hides its contradictions behind tradition, but it is a denunciation as well-intentioned as it is timid.
