\u201cInevitable comparisons have been made with Lena Dunham\u2019s Girls<\/i> and Sex and the City<\/i>, but this has more in common with the feistiness of Pedro Almod\u00f3var\u2019s early anarchic friendship fable Pepi, Luci, Bom and Other Girls Like Mom<\/i> than with either of those small-screen US antecedents.\u201d Mark Kermode, The Observer<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Three very different young Palestinian women share an apartment in Tel Aviv, trying to shape their own destinies in a patriarchal society. Humour is their readiest defence in the culture-war skirmishes between them, but gradually the price of their independence, and their principled commitment to their own autonomy, becomes apparent.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cOn a side note … an actual fatwa was issued against Hamoud \u2014 the first against a Palestinian in 70 years \u2014 for her depictions of homosexuality, intoxication and drug use. That \u2014 combined with no less than Isabelle Huppert declaring the women featured in In Between<\/i> as \u2018heroines of our time\u2019 while presenting an award at Cannes last year \u2014 is as good a recommendation you can get.\u201d rogerebert.com<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
