TOMATOMETER
Al-Khateab shapes a compelling, harrowing and occasionally lyrically beautiful narrative out of footage she began shooting while attending college as a marketing student.
Washington Post
4 stars out of 4 -- [T]he most harrowingly intimate and arguably, the best documentary to date on the Syrian conflict...
RogerEbert.com
Among the many activists who have documented the civil war in Syria, the story of 26-year-old Waad al-Kateab is perhaps one of the most remarkable.
Hollywood Reporter
Simple in concept and shattering in execution, blending hard-headed reportage with unguarded personal testimony, it’s you-are-there cinema of the most literal order.
Variety
FOR SAMA compiles al-Kateab’s footage from inside Aleppo, as she and her husband lived among citizens under siege. With bracing intimacy, she uses voice-over to address the film to her daughter, Sama, born in January 2016.
