Review of last week's film (Wadjda, 4 stars)
Steven says: "Wadjda" is a straightforward story that forces viewers to examine the place of women in Saudi Arabian culture. With the education system as a backdrop, the title character confronts societal expectations and rules with her own outlook on life and what is means to be happy.
