Fatima Reviews
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Well-observed and unassuming as this film is, it glides along rather too blandly.
RogerEbert.com
Alissa Wilkinson
It's sometimes funny, but always empathetic, and Faucon wisely leaves many of the most dramatic moments off-screen.
The Film Stage
Michael Snydel
While Faucon's film treads over many of the same thematic conversations of films ranging from The Namesake to La Promesse, it nonetheless offers an impressively empathetic understanding of three very different generations.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A tender and touching portrait of a Moroccan immigrant woman struggling to raise her two daughters in France.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
The film appears to have been devised to pander to the presumptions of Western, liberal viewers.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Honest, direct and dramatic without any sense of special pleading or situations pushed too hard.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A small miracle of a film from the French director Philippe Faucon.
Village Voice
Bilge Ebiri
Fatima has its heart in the right place, but there's something dehumanizing about Faucon's approach: These characters, it seems, are too important as representational objects to ever become real people.
Film Comment Magazine
Nicolas Rapold
Fatima adds another trim chapter to Faucon's catalog of social dramas with its affecting, highly focused story of a hard-working first-generation Moroccan mother, Fatima, and her two teenage daughters in Lyon.
Variety
Justin Chang
This poignant slice-of-life dramedy proves as modest in length (78 minutes) as it is generous in rueful insight and emotional complexity ...
Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
Fatima offers a gentle, affecting celebration of the fortitude and intelligence of an Algerian cleaning lady struggling to raise her two daughters in contemporary France.
Gay City News
Steve Erickson
All the clichés about immigrant life are present here.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
Although the French generally excel at "slice of life" storytelling, "Fatima" is just too small a slice.
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
Philippe Faucon's compassionate drama of an Algerian émigré in Lyon, based on the memoirs of Fatima Elayoubi, stars Soria Zeroual as Fatima, a divorced mother of two teenage daughters, working multiple jobs as a cleaner to give her girls a better life.
Signature
Lisa Rosman
Never a downer but always clear-eyed, Fatima soars because it dares to toil.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Louis Proyect
A quiet and subdued family drama about the struggle of Algerian immigrants to make a life in France today, a film that is ever so timely in light of the Islamophobia gripping the country.
