Papicha's reviews
Media reviews
Caimán Cuadernos de Cine
"Mounia Meddour builds a moving story but it is solved in an extremely conventional way. (...) without constructing a completely coherent tale". 'Papicha' works but sometimes seems too weak."
Screen Daily
"The film?s most rewarding strand is the inventive, pointed way in which clothes and textiles are used as metaphors both for female constraints and female defiance"
The Hollywood Reporter
"Very knowing about female friendships and the different possible reactions to forced social change, this is a lovingly acted film that, unfortunately, derails in the third act; (...) but doesn't convince on a narrative level or in terms of its psychological impact on the characters."
Variety
The excellent main characterizations and provocative camera work are weakened by a problematic script.
