Reviews

Jinn holds several beautiful elements, especially in its central mother-daughter story.

Monica Castillo, RogerEbert.com

Demonstrating that identity is multifaceted and not as singular as society or religion paints it to be, Jinn is a wonderfully layered coming-of-age tale.

Courtney Small, Cinema Axis

Jinn quivers with joy and uncertainty, confidence and shame, delivering exactly what makes independent cinema exciting: a bright new voice with a bold vision.
