"[A] slight but nonetheless pleasurable story..."
Hollywood Reporter"With its arid humour and sparse simplicity, this amusing first feature is filmmaking which works in near perfect harmony with its backdrop: the baked bones of desert country in Morocco's South."
Screen Daily"A blistering debut by an international filmmaker to watch..."
Slash Film"A droll, entertaining, absurdist fable about spirituality and greed that signals an important new talent."
