Kritiken

Dans ce faux huis clos qui ne peut que s’ouvrir à la réalité de la violence étatique iranienne, Mohammad Rasoulof observe une multitude de glissements fascinants, à commencer par le réveil politique de ses héroïnes. Un grand film de cinéma.
Antoine Desrues Ecran Large 17/09/2024
Hommage au courage d'un peuple, exercice de mise en scène virtuose, « Les graines du figuier sauvage » est un film magistral.
