Contrepoints critiques :
”Film festivals are places that often unearth gems. With its fascinating commentary on Tunisian power structures, both of society and of the police, “Aïcha” is the hidden gem of Venice. It’s an exciting character study that shows how women, even in death, are the currency of men and government, no matter their supposed freedom.”
(Connor Lightbody – Next best picture)
”The Tunisian Mehdi Barsaoui sees his second film Aïcha for The Party invited again to Orizzonti #Venezia81, although a heavy-handed naive B movie profiled for a domestic launch in Carthage.”
