Murtada Elfadl Variety 3d
With animation as a protective veil and real voices bringing intimacy, “Bouchra” carves a unique spot for itself, successfully blending these elements to make a poignant and resonant story. Go to Full Review Juan Barquin RogerEbert.com 6d
3.5/4
For all the ways it hits the beats of traditional queer and diaspora narratives, ‘Bouchra’ never comes across as reductive in its portrayal of the relationship between mother and daughter or the dynamics within divergent cultures Go to Full Review Manohla Dargis New York Times Jun 25
.Some of the character designs are more zoologically legible than others, but these are not Disneyesque cute and fuzzies. They're different, at least outwardly. They are also, alas, not all that interesting. Go to Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies Jun 26
2.5/4
It is such subtle and personal material ... that the entire execution of Bouchra doesn't quite match it. Go to Full Review André Hereford Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Jun 24
4/5
Even in this starkly non-human world, the characters’ humanity comes across vividly, in their laughter, and their dancing, whether they’re unloading their feelings or avoiding them. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Jun 22
An audacious and visually stylish, but emotionally cold animated documentary and fiction hybrid. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
