‘Brides’ Review: Nadia Fall’s Low-Key Study Of Teenage Alienation Humanizes The Touchy Subject Of Online Radicalization — Sundance Film Festival

‘Brides’ review: Nadia Fall’s low-key study of teenage alienation humanizes the touchy subject of online radicalization – Sundance Film Festival

Scripted by Suhayla El-Bushra — whose time in the writers’ room on Nida Manzoor ’s underrated We are Lady Parts, a British sitcom about an all-female Muslim punk band, is detectable in some of the film’s dry humor — Brides is a poignant and purposeful attempt to look behind the headlines. As the two girls make their way to the border, it soon becomes clear that the destination is secondary to the journey, and, along the way, editor Fiona DeSouza goes above and beyond in her duties as the film zigzags between past and present, masterfully filling in the missing pieces of the jigsaw without sacrificing any sense of the overarching trajectory of the story.
