Review of Farha

Farha (2021)
9/10
Both powerful and painful, making it very valuable
17 January 2023
I had Farha on my to watch list for a long time. I finally got around to it and it started off with a somewhat tense mood but still lighthearted enough to relax while watching it. But then it took a turn and once it got into the main bit, I was on edge the entire time. Some scenes were painful to watch. There were times I was so frustrated and angry why something happened, but this is based on real life events and it portrays that trauma and injustice without holding back. By the time the movie ended, I felt a bit numb, but that's exactly the type of impact that makes this movie so important. This movie manages to make a powerful statement despite the majority of it being held in a confined setting. Although this is just a tiny portrayal of the Nakba, it is a very valuable addition to the limited media representation that exists.
