Must-see film, 29 December 2008
10/10
Author: (editor@mountain-news.com) from United States

I previewed Rabia for the 2008 Lake Arrowhead Film Festival and recommended it heartily to the committee. While it is a disturbing film, it is an important film. That was confirmed by the Lake Arrowhead Film Festival jury, which named Rabia Best Student Film. Ali Hasan and Hanieh Jodat both attended the festival and were available to answer questions.

It was hard to believe the film was the work of a student as it was so well done from every angle--cinematography, direction, acting, script.

I agree that one of the amazing things about the film is that it leads you to sympathize with Rabia because you understand her actions. While we do not condone those actions, we are made to see her as a person, to understand in a limited way a completely different mindset.

Ali is certain to be a cinematic force to be reckoned with. We all look forward to his next film.
