🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Miguel Gomes constructs the film as a intricate nesting doll of stories, relying on the frame of Scheherazade to explore contemporary social anxieties. He builds a tapestry where documentary fragments and fictional fables collide, creating a poignant critique wrapped in allegory.
What lingers after the credits is the desperate poetry of storytelling as a last refuge. Those who tire of conventional narratives will find a demanding, hypnotic, and ultimately rewarding meditation on fiction's power. — MovieFinder Editorial
