Reviews for Daughters of the Sun
Acted as a drama, paced like a ritual, filmed as a slice of rural Iranian life.
This ponderous, relentlessly grim Iranian film is about an adolescent girl who must disguise herself as a boy in order to survive.
The filmmaker achieves the desired sense of remoteness and claustrophobic doom, and though the story could be told more economically, her slow approach conveys the distended chronology that attends an indentured servitude resembling slavery.
