Girls of the Sun Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
This script is terrible, but the story and the filmmaking is very good.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
Eva Husson gives all the fighters their due as they face great danger with an even greater resolve. We get to see the sacrifices they make and their hopes of a return to a past, happy life and family.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... gradually builds suspense and sympathy with an intimate character-driven approach that's powerful without turning heavy-handed.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
"Girls of the Sun" has an air of authenticity and grit that's convincing, and Farahani, an Iranian-born actress, makes us care.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Girls of the Sun" is a film of admirable ambition but vexingly uneven execution.
AWFJ.org
Loren King
Husson directs the complex action with escalating tension and horror, though it's likely just a glimpse into what these women suffered, and what they still endure.
Los Angeles Times
Carlos Aguilar
[I]f only more of "Girls of the Sun" had that empowering sentiment as a primary aim, the filmmaker's earnest intentions would manifest more organically.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
Director and co-writer Eva Husson awkwardly combines taut action with treacly melodrama.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
"Girls of the Sun," unlike the women who populate it, is weak and often corny.
World of Reel
Jordan Ruimy
Despite excellently-staged action, Husson tries to juggle one too many character arcs, which ends up blurring our focus of the bigger picture at hand.
AV Club
Roxana Hadadi
Girls Of The Sun prioritizes that feeling of female unity against male oppression, a through-line that alternately limits and expands its narrative.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
With its naked celebration of self-sacrificial combat and idealization of the soldier as an avenging angel, it strikes a tone redolent of old-school war propaganda.
RogerEbert.com
Barbara Scharres
"Girls of the Sun" is a well-meaning, timid tribute that follows the usual pattern of the war correspondent subgenre, glorifying its brave subjects without taking any risks.
TheWrap
Sharon Waxman
The emotion is honestly won. This is, after all, how it has happened for hundreds if not thousands of women victimized by Isis's brutality.
Slant Magazine
Sam C. Mac
Its most emotionally charged moments buckle under the weight of a ceaseless and manipulative score.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
Representational merits alone can't distinguish this movie's clumsy farrago of good intentions, ham-fisted story choices and cloddishly on-the-nose dialogue.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
Barreling forward with fits of strong drama and underwritten characters, Girls of the Sun features just enough good scenes to make one wish they held together as a whole.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
Their courageous, inspiring inspiration deserved a better movie, one with more nuanced plotting and a less overbearing score. Failing that, couldn't Girls Of The Sun have let the pots righteously boil?
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
At once mildly harrowing and completely over-the-top, intermittently intense yet so unsubtle it winds up doing damage to its own worthy discourse.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
Interested parties are better off checking out some of the documentaries, such as "Gulstan, Land of Roses," rather than this well-intentioned yet clich-riddled lunge at the tear ducts.
