Foreign, subtitles
The first film produced by a Saudi Arabian women. A coming of age story about a 10 year old girl living in that repressive society. Gave up after 20 minutes. Just not interesting. Sandy would have continued
From Rotten Tomatoes: WADJDA is a movie of firsts. This first feature film shot entirely in Saudi Arabia is the story of a young girl living in a suburb of Riyadh determined to raise enough money to buy a bike in a society that sees bicycles as dangerous to a girl's virtue. Even more impressive, WADJDA is the first feature film made by a female Saudi filmmaker. In a country where cinemas are banned and women cannot drive or vote, writer- director Haifaa Al Mansour has broken many barriers with her new film.
