‘Waad Mohammed is utterly disarming in the title role, her tomboyish grin lights up the screen … while many of the vignettes in the home and at school are very funny, we get an acute sense of the little everyday frustrations and burdens that Saudi women have to shoulder.’ The Telegraph The first Saudi Arabian film to be directed by a woman, this delightful story focuses on 10-year-old Wadjda, who sets her heart on owning a beautiful green bicycle she’s seen for sale. Fearing disapproval her mother forbids it, so the spirited Wadjda sets out to raise the money herself. While clearly illustrating Saudi restrictions which limit women’s lives, the film is funny and charming, and offers hope for the future.
