Review

A gritty, emotionally resonant war drama that balances intense combat sequences with intimate character moments. The film succeeds in portraying the complexities of female fighters without romanticizing conflict, offering a fresh perspective on the Syrian front. Strong performances, especially from Dilan Gwyn and CamƩlia Jordana, elevate the narrative, though at times the pacing drifts during exposition. Overall, it stands as a compelling tribute to courage and solidarity.
