	Media	Author	Review
		Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A chilling portrait of the psyche of an unbalanced woman, played with extraordinary intensity by newcomer Azmeri Haque Badhon"
		Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"The film derives a magnetic continuity, and an unsettling range of dynamics, from Haque Badhon’s performance."
		Robert Daniels The Playlist	"Obsession and sexism make for a sharp character study (...) 'Rehana Maryam Noor' is the kind of edgy, uncomfortable story worth discovering"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Abdullah Mohammad Saad’s powerful 'Rehana Maryam Noor', an exercise in craft and limited POV that’s given a strong emotional core by Azmeri Haque Badhon as the title character"
		Richard Kuipers Variety	"Badhon’s immensely powerful performance strikes emotional notes that are all the stronger and more memorable for being surrounded by silence"
		Chloe Walker Paste Magazine	"The clear #MeToo theme in Saad’s narrative undoubtedly helped get the film noticed on the global stage, and it’s the nuance to his handling of that theme (...) which makes it such an interesting work."
