	Media	Author	Review
		Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"A charming and fanciful debut tackles mother-daughter relationships"
		Tania Hussain Collider	"Fawzia Mirza's vibrant, heartfelt love letter to mothers and daughters (...) This vibrant debut feature is a sweet story about how the messiness of family is what matters most"
		Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"Dramedy with depth (...) Hopefully this knowledge breaks the chain––if not for the characters onscreen, then for those watching and realizing they’re gazing into a mirror"
		Proma Khosla IndieWire	"Fawzia Mirza's feature debut is enchanting if a little disjointed, with sumptuous performances by Nimra Bucha, Amrit Kaur, and Hamza Haq"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"Maybe it’s how the plotting focuses on the mother’s story before we deeply get to know Azra (...) But the film remains pleasing across its different decades and drawn similarities"
		Valerie Complex Deadline	"A stylish medley ofgenerations and dreams"
		Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle	"After 96 minutes spent with this family, in all their iterations, the heart wants nothing but the best for them all"
		Siddhant Adlakha Variety	"It does little to separate itself, thematically or stylistically, from a now repetitive form of 'third culture' storytelling"
