Quickening Ratings & Reviews
Ms. Magazine
Aviva Dove-Viebahn
Quickening employs innovative camerawork, atmospheric lighting, and a not-entirely-linear narrative to shine light on the coming of age of a Pakistani Canadian college student.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Arooj Azeem is fantastic in the role, moving from panic attack dread to sanctimonious rage on a dime as she seeks footing in the one place that matters: her own skin.
That Shelf
Barbara Goslawski
[Waseem] displays a rare talent for expressing the full emotional resonance of even the most fleeting of moments, and her grasp of the cinematic means each of those moments is breathtaking.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Its narrative ambition and visual acuity make me excited to see what Waseem does next.
The Spool
Soham Gadre
It's unfortunate that Quickening, which clearly has good intentions, ends up looking and feeling like a commercial.
