Based on a true story, The Source is a passionate but sometimes heavy-handed argument for gender equality in the Middle East.

This populist parable draws intriguing battle lines between the sexes, but then forgets what it was supposed to be fighting about.

Raphael Abraham

RTFinancial TimesMay 17, 2012

Radu Mihaileanu's update of Lysistrata with overtones of the Arab Spring never settles on a consistent tone; as a result, serious moments lack force and lighter moments feel hollow.

Offers an interesting and beautifully made picture of some important issues surround women's rights in patriarchal societies.
