She feels like a real person and, as a result, imbues the film’s most on-the-nose moments—like its climactic Koran reciting competition—with a sense of life and unpredictability.

You'd need a heart of stone not to be won over by Wadjda, a rebel yell with a spoonful of sugar and a pungent sense of a Riyadh society split between the home, the madrasa and the shopping mall.

As simple and charming as you could wish for, this is a genuinely pioneering debut from a female Saudi filmmaker and a striking piece of work by any standards.

...må vara sockersöt och enkel, men avtrycket filmen lämnar efter sig blir så mycket större just för att den utspelar sig där kvinnors värld är oändligt mycket mer begränsad än här.

Filmens største force er dens evne til skildre ordinære hverdagsforhold fra hjem til skole.

Ok, ikke decideret FANTASTISK som film betragtet, men det er helt sikkert unikt at den er fra Saudiarabien og instrueret af en kvinde, så en ekstra stjerne for det!

Fantastisk i all sin enkelhet. Ja, det må vara en kliché men "Den gröna cykeln" är en väldigt simpel berättelse om just en grön cykel, eller kanske mer drömmen om densamma.

...giver et fascinerende indblik i en fremmed, kvindefjendsk kultur med en sød og mildt subversiv historie om frihed og om at forfølge sine drømme.
