  • In terms of narrative language, dialogue, choice of themes, and the use of customs and period context to serve the story and the underlying emotions throughout, it was very good. It was not boring at all; a few parts had some bias that can be overlooked. The soundtrack was also genuinely good.

  • I watched this movie twice, and I have to say it was one of the most beautiful works of art that could ever be created. It truly felt like seeing the world through the eyes of a little girl. I never lived like Bahar but in every moment of the movie, I lived in her place
