The Wedding Song Ratings & Reviews
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
Csar nominee writer/director Karin Albou summons a genie with this pair of love stories, set in the worst of times, that challenge loyalties to the limit.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
With intimacy and sensuality, Albou explores what it means to be a woman and the bonds that women form with each other in an increasingly precarious situation.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
The bond between Brocher and Borval is more physical than verbal; they often seem on the verge of a deep, soulful lip-lock, but since neither character is developed satisfactorily, it's hard to develop a rooting interest in...their friendship.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Writer-director Karin Albou (who plays the mother of the Jewish bride) has a sensuous, intimate filmmaking style that overrides The Wedding Song's more precariously loaded plot parallels.
About.com
Marcy Dermansky
Many, many movies have been made about World War II; but Albou's film provides a fresh perspective. It also doesn't hurt that her two lead actresses are terrifically beautiful.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
An engrossing, tender and captivating drama with heartfelt, raw performances.
NewsBlaze
Kam Williams
Love in the time of Hitler!
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
This seductively fluid and tactile drama explores love and identity through the prism of the female body and the rights of its owner.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
An intelligently written and directed story of two 16-year-old girls -- one Jewish and one Muslim -- and their friendship in Tunis during the Nazi occupation in the 1940s.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A sensuous, astonishing, and memorable film about the different shades of love in sexuality, friendship, and marriage.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
In The Wedding Song, director Karin Albou shrewdly links national politics with its domestic sexual counterpart.
Village Voice
Ella Taylor
This spirited film sustains its momentum as a tale of powerless women uniting to take back control of their destinies.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Somewhat inventive, graced by strong performances amid a background in Tunisia, 'The Wedding Song' could be called 'East Side Story' given its resemblance to the Broadway musical inspired by 'Romeo and Juliet.'
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
The girls' intense friendship, their hopes of love, and their attempt to overcome the crushing obstacles of cultural differences and racist politics, are the heart of Albou's concern.
Variety
Boyd van Hoeij
A bold, very carnal take on adolescent female bonding in a setting not often portrayed onscreen. Small but ambitious movie should be able to sing its way into fests and arthouses.
