Interesting subject matter, though as a film I found 'Rachida' a bit flat.
Ibtissem Djouadi leads the cast well enough, though I wasn't invested in any of the characters onscreen. The story also felt a tad repetitive and lacking in progression. The pacing is fine, yet due to the aforementioned it does a drag in a few places - though the short 93 minute run time helps in that regard.
Not a bad film one bit, but it just isn't one that I clicked with.
