Critics consensus

“A view of societal turmoil through the lens of a young woman's experiences, Papicha acts as a compelling calling card for debuting writer-director Mounia Meddour Gens.”

While the final act frays a little, the sparking tensions of female friendship are vivid and persuasive.

Can't wait to see more from Meddour, this is seriously powerful filmmaking.

RTFinancial TimesAug 5, 2020

Like its magnetic lead, the film is alternately warm and viscerally angry, with scant patience for nuance.

Meddour elaborates with a critical eye and a certain subtlety a text about the struggle of women in times of patriarchal oppression by Islamic radicalism during the Algerian Civil War. Full review in Spanish
