Nadine Labiki has created a real-life Dickensian drama with performances of breathtaking naturalism.

It's a very harrowing portrait... Zain Al Rafeea is amazing.

It's essential viewing for the ways in which it illuminates brutally hard lives many of us could otherwise not imagine, and for the craft of its nonprofessional performers.
