Villa Touma's reviews
Media reviews
Cinemanía
A tragedy with a Shakespearian touch and scenography, with imperceptible and persistent black humor, courtesy from the director and scriptwriter Suha Harraf ('Lemon Tree').
El País
What Arraf begins telling as a clash of different universes with some comedy touches (...) ends becoming an oppressive tale with a curt, shocking and precise ending.
Fotogramas
A film that cries for the scars of the palestinian-israeli conflict (...), the movie depicts bluntly a rigid social scheme dominated by prejudice and hatred.
The Hollywood Reporter
"'Villa Touma' is so dated stylistically as clothing, hairstyles and attitudes of superiority of the sisters, and their simple narrative [seems] almost like a fairy tale you've heard many times."
Variety
"It is unfortunate that the concept is much more powerful than the film in question. Given the history of Suha Arraf screenwriter (...) one expects more than a clumsy dialogue of his directorial debut."
