Dukhtar Ratings & Reviews
FF2 Media
Brigid Presecky
The heartfelt and hopeful story can resonate with audiences around the globe.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
A depiction of the enduring mother-daughter bond as a Pakistani mother saves her daughter from an arranged marriage.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
With its stark imagery and characterizations, the film often feels like a folktale, even though it takes place in the present and addresses ongoing social concerns.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
Dukhtar grabs you from the outset and never lets go.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Heartfelt performances and breathtaking scenery barely compensate for the pedestrian screenplay's shortcomings.

Louis Proyect
Oddly enough, a plot similar to "Mad Max: Fury Road" but a million times more interesting--and by a first-time director, no less.

Laya Maheshwari
It is an unabashed love letter to Pakistan itself, warts and all. Yet, as a film, it's too by the book to earn a spot of honor in any book, and that's disappointing.
New York Times
Andy Webster
Its principal merit is the quiet authority of Ms. Mumtaz, who combines a mother's passionate concern with glimmers of an awakening consciousness.
Slant Magazine
Elise Nakhnikian
Writer-director Afia Nathaniel's Dukhtar is an unsentimental tribute to the transformative power of maternal love.
Village Voice
Diana Clarke
Dukhtar is an issues film with the twisted, heart-pounding feel of a road-trip thriller ...
The Young Folks
Nathanael Hood
...a vital, urgent Pakistani film vibrating with life and truth... Rarely have I seen the mother-daughter bond depicted in the cinema with such candor and emotion.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Alex Nelson
Rooting for the safety of the sweet girl, heroic trucker, and vulnerable mother will have you on the edge of your seat.
