It’s rare that a director’s first feature film, accomplished with an ensemble of nonprofessional actors, proves to be as quietly powerful as Jean-Bernard Marlin’s simple but lyrical “Shéhérazade.” Read full review

Shéhérazade wins us over with what we love about love: its strength in even the direst of circumstances. Read full review

On the pages of the script, it could come across as forced, but thanks to good direction, editing, and the performances by Robert and Fortas this love story works. Read full review

Shooting in a color-streaked vérité style and coaxing terrific performances from his non-pro cast, Marlin clearly has a promising future ahead. What keeps Shéhérazade from ranking higher in the pantheon of streetwise French crime dramas is the story’s overall familiarity. Read full review

The performances of these kids are amazing. So true. The film is brave in may ways, visually and thematically. A pleasure to discover and a unique exploration.
