The Hill Where Lionesses Roar Ratings & Reviews
InSession Film
Kate Boyle
A striking view of a neglected generation...
The Young Folks
Allyson Johnson
Luàna Bajrami has already established a fearsome tone of voice, even if the script meanders throughout much of the first half.
Latinx Lens
Rosa Parra
It took a bit for me to become invested in these characters, but once I did, I was all in. Sadly the ending didn't work for me and it left me underwhelmed.
Ms. Magazine
Aviva Dove-Viebahn
[A]n unflinching slice-of-life view into the friendship of three young women who share a fervent desire to...explore beyond the streets and people they've known since birth.
Critic's Notebook
Sarah Manvel
...the final act is a slow fizzling out, which takes longer than the story's momentum can maintain. There's rarely such an obvious cause and effect. It's such a shame.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
What sets the film apart from other examinations of young women confronting narrow-mindedness is that the three fight back, becoming disruptors.
Film Inquiry
Kristy Strouse
Beautifully shot, bursting with young talent, but occasionally lacking in momentum, The Hill Where Lionesses Roar marks a promising debut from Luàna Bajrami.
Vague Visages
Caroline Madden
With her confident point of view and heartfelt prose, Bajrami makes her archetypal narrative seem fresh.
rachelsreviews.net
Rachel Wagner
The narrative ambles about looking for a story and not finding much of one worthy to tell.
Punch Drunk Critics
Travis Hopson
The Hill where Lionesses Roar is as full of life as it is a keenly observed look at three young women straining against the home that they love, but is nonetheless holding them back.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
Captures a raw and honest look at the feeling of being trapped in a life you never asked for, wanting so desperately to get yourself out of it, but realizing that you're probably stuck there for good.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
It's mostly marvelous how The Hill Where Lionesses Roar sees the beauty where its characters can't

Ian Thomas Malone
Bajrami crafts a delightfully charming narrative, bolstered by strong lead performances from her trio of lionesses.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
A strong film about how tough the world can be for strong young women, Bajrami reveals she has just as much to offer behind the camera as she does in front of it.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
This pride is fiercely protective and reacts angrily when provoked.
In Review Online
Sarah Williams
Its languid pacing may fail to enamor us with Bajrami's thinly-sketched first act, but the gradual accumulation of her solar-powered compositions leaves a firm impression.
The Playlist
Gregory Ellwood
Beautifully shot by cinematographer Hugo Paturel, "Lionesses" will remind many of 2015's "Mustang" or the films of Sofia Coppola.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
The first-time filmmaker's eye for details is profound, from her inspired casting of mostly first- and second-time actors to the way the world they exist within moves around them.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Although a truncated finale suggests a stronger denouement might have bolstered the narrative considerably, it's set in an authentic realm of inevitable consequences.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Anna Smith
Bajrami's promising first feature is an ode to caged lionesses everywhere.
