Reviews

Anastasia Hornal has been carefully crafted, as if watching a braided essay unfold. I started the film intrigued and confused; I finished intrigued, confused, and enthralled. A cinematic art statement, every scene a visual delight, endowed with a story rarely told. With integrity, and humanity you are captured by the tale of a struggling woman, who has given her all to be sucessful, to achieve and find grandiose accomplishment in her work and art. To be powerful, like Oum Kulthum. Or at least, to understand her. She fails. Pay close attention to this movie, to the dream, to the musical cues that will pave the emotional course through each scene. At the end, you will find the most respectful, and humble homage to the great Oum Kulthum.

rodinhamidi Well crafted and honest study of an artistic process, both in personal and professional level.

farditi From the very first sequence you know that you'll be taken into a powerful and mysterious journey into the lives of two artists, which captures all of your senses!

melvinponce Beautiful film and amazing Music, captivating Colors with realistic performances that allow you to feel part of the audience. The story within a story kept my family and I intrigued and rooting for the Director who struggled with being an Iranian Woman telling the story of an Egyptian singer. A must see!
