"It’s a tale made for the movies, and a character perfectly suited to the great Hawkins, who specializes in wispy-voiced women with cores of steel." - Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
"Stephen Frears gives us something really comforting, sweet, solid and sincere." - Christy Lemire, FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) "Its pleasures and compensations lie not in plotty complications or some third-act twist, but in the humanity that suffuses an enterprise that is borne of obsession but achieves a form of transcendence." - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post |

"Whenever you think you know where Maryam Touzani’s entrancing drama “The Blue Caftan” is going, she blindsides you with a fierce emotional wallop."
- Robert Daniels,RogerEbert.com "It’s the equivalent of a cinematic poem, filled with ache, insight and exhilaration." - Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News “The Blue Caftan,” like its title garment, has a handmade, lived-in quality, an authenticity that marks Touzani — a former journalist making her second feature — a director to watch." - G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle |
