Aparita Bhandari Globe and Mail Perhaps it’s a case of living with a project for too long. Or maybe it’s a case of a story that doesn’t quite morph so easily from one medium to another. Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Proma Khosla indieWire It’s Mirza’s personal connection to the story that makes it charming, moving, and magnetic in its best moments. To that end, the film accurately reflects the tumult of mothers and daughters and intergenerational culture gaps. Rated: B- Mar 13, 2024 Full Review Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle After 96 minutes spent with this family, in all their iterations, the heart wants nothing but the best for them all. Mar 11, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer The Film Experience Writer-director Fawzia Mirza makes an entertaining and impressive feature debut, digging into pieces of her own identity to craft a great story that leaves a lasting impression. Rated: B+ Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Jericho Tadeo The Asian Cut The Queen of My Dreams dares us to dare, inspires us to connect, and, above all, reminds us to call our moms more often. Rated: 9/10 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Tariq Ra'ouf Xtra Magazine "Filled with heart, and gives us hope for what the future of storytelling looks like." Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
