What Will People Say Ratings & Reviews
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
A real-life terror trip but with human ghouls and goblins.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
The movie becomes something more than just another tale of cross-cultural, cross-generational misunderstanding: a harrowing drama of emotional abuse.
Film Inquiry
Alex Lines
What Will People Say? is both potent and problematic, an experiment on how much merciless grief a viewer can tolerate before declaring "Okay, we get the point!".
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
For portrayal of so-called "honor crime," unique film emotionally touches issues in some 1st generation immigrant communities in West from point of view of 2nd generation.
NPR's All Things Considered
Bob Mondello
As the Norwegian snow gives way to sunbaked Pakistani desert on screen, you'll feel a tug between the awful and the artful
Village Voice
April Wolfe
The quiet psychological terror and the simple, blunt manner in which it was shown stole my breath.
Film Journal International
Anna Storm
A Westernized Pakistani teen is put through the ringer by her family in this well-crafted film that's often difficult to watch.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
[A] relentlessly upsetting film.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
A blistering drama about the kind of culture clash that can traumatize a young woman for life.
New York Times
Teo Bugbee
In a resolute acknowledgment of the oppression that too many young women face at home, the film portrays the family structure as the enforcing unit of feminine docility.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
What Will People Say ultimately can't do much more than generate reflexive outrage.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
The film flirts with unadulterated miserablism, but it counterbalances the direness of its main character's situation with welcome moments of levity.
Shockya.com
Harvey S. Karten
A shocking look at how preserving a family's reputation appears to allow a young woman's father and brother to contemplate murdering their daughter.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
What Will People Say is a powerful story of a young woman, whose voice and story fall on the deaf ears of society. Hopefully, this film will not suffer the same fate.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
The strength of Mozhdah's affable performance ensures that What Will People Say gets off to an impressively strong start...
The Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
They'll say this movie needs more nuance.
PopMatters
Katherine Murray
The culture clash in What Will People Say is manifest in a life-and-death difference between interpretations of Nisha's defiance.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
An ordeal is about all the movie offers.
Film Inquiry
Tomas Trussow
What Will People Say is a brutal yet powerful study of the effects of subjugation on a young woman in a highly patriarchal society.
Variety
Alissa Simon
The kinetically shot film brims with authenticity and immediacy and benefits from a deeply sympathetic turn from sublime discovery Maria Mozhdah as the lead.
