In a ghetto where religion and drug trafficking rub shoulders, Dounia has a lust for power and success.

Touching story of the resilience of young girls navigating the French projects,the ending is tough to watch.

Two slum-dwelling teen girls see an opportunity to make money working for the local drug kingpin. Well-done but it's been done before.

This movie ate my heart and spit it out. Sounds terrible but this movie is an experience of both beauty and pain. Completely raw.

A solid coming of age film, with an interesting working class subtext.

Excellent and very underrated. A poignant and deeply moving story, superb directing + editing and an outstanding performance from Amamra.

A garbage movie about some black chicks slinging dope in the ghetto … nothing new here or even the least bit unbelievable.
