Critics' reviews

"Shihab’s palpable love for her mother courses through her film and “Jaddoland” functions both as a tribute to her work and life as well as a sincere interrogation of the idea of 'home' (...) However, [it's] less successful when [she] tries to tell her mother’s story through other people"
