Huda's Salon Ratings & Reviews
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Anna Smith
A tense and culturally fascinating watch about women battling an impossible situation.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
An often dull, clunky and contrived political thriller.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
Awad is particularly superb... Even when you don't believe the movie she's in, you believe her entirely.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
Huda's Salon does not stop for one second to take a breath, and the subjects revealed have enormous and urgent philosophical reverb.
Film Inquiry
Stephanie Archer
Hudas Salon is not your traditional thriller, yet is not one to be overlooked. With a tightly paced narrative and engaging characters, Hudas Salon has more than just thrills to deliver.
Denerstein Unleashed
Robert Denerstein
By the time Huda's Salon concludes, we're as conflicted as the characters about the harsh decisions they're forced to make. I'm guessing that's precisely where Abu-Assad wanted to leave us.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Abu-Assad's latest ekes potent melodramatic tension from the ease with which ordinary lives can be upended within a framework of profound political injustice.
Boston Herald
James Verniere
Maisa Abd Elhadi and Manal Awad are caught up in male-dominated nightmare in Huda's Salon.
Newcity
Ray Pride
ts masterful work, smartly arraying bits of story and details of locale without ever becoming merely an issue film (especially noteworthy when issues are the propulsive engine of the often terrifying plot).
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
The intimate, slow-burning frustration of Huda and Reem's predicaments builds and builds until we ourselves start to feel like we're stuck in a dark prison of the soul.
Variety
Tomris Laffly
This handsome film serves as a sobering reminder that in any type of conflict, women tend to get the short end of the stick.
TheWrap
Elizabeth Weitzman
Follows close behind Asghar Farhadis iA Hero/i and Mehdi Barsaouis iA Son/i in turning seemingly straightforward situations into impossibly complex moral mazes of the Middle East.
New York Times
Devika Girish
Where Abu-Assad falters is in turning Huda into a didactic mouthpiece for the very themes that Reem's tribulations, filmed up-close with a jerky camera, convey effortlessly.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
[A] clumsy thriller...
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Abu-Assad's tautly plotted shout-out against a patriarchal way of being that crushes the souls of women couldn't be more relevant.
Slant Magazine
Wes Greene
Formally, Hudas Salon is nothing if not effective, sustaining the unrelenting tension of its opening scene for the duration of its runtime.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
"Huda's Salon" is rubbed raw by the politics of the occupied territories; but somehow it doesn't feel like an issue movie.
The Playlist
Carlos Aguilar
Strikingly bold in its dramatic construction, and adept at folding the macro issues into the lives of everyday residents of a tumultuous area of the world.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
As "Huda's Salon" chugs along to an over-thought ending that does little to reflect the precise stories and people it's trying to chronicle, you can't help but wonder: what is all this for?
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Huda's Salon is a humble offering to the existing, and incredibly diverse, tradition of art that understands that the garden of liberation will not thrive without eradicating its patriarchal weeds.
