Huda's Salon

Huda’s Salon goes deeper and gets more metaphorical in dealing with espionage and the concomitant compromises and betrayals.

A tense and culturally fascinating watch about women battling an impossible situation.

Awad is particularly superb... Even when you don’t believe the movie she’s in, you believe her entirely.

Huda's Salon does not stop for one second to take a breath, and the subjects revealed have enormous and urgent philosophical reverb.

The intimate, slow-burning frustration of Huda and Reem’s predicaments builds and builds until we ourselves start to feel like we’re stuck in a dark prison of the soul.

This handsome film serves as a sobering reminder that in any type of conflict, women tend to get the short end of the stick.

Huda’s Salon ... is an impatient film working in a genre where sometimes patience is the key.

In a brisk and efficient -- even slightly rushed -- 91 minutes, Huda's Salon lays out a story of women at war that will stay with you. Very recommended.

An honest and powerful film. [Full Review in Spanish]

... A stupendous political thriller that raises questions about gender discrimination in a novel way. [Full review in Spanish]
