“A searing indictment of oppressive rule, whether it be of a
nation or in a household, The Seed of the Sacred Fig functions
both as compelling drama and powerful political statement.”

“A powerful movie with a great moral dilemma at the center.”
FilmWeek
“A surprising and revelatory film that shakes its first at
an authoritarian government and, in doing so, turns into one of the best films
of 2024.”
San Jose Mercury News
“The Seed of the Sacred Fig is a political thriller, a
horror movie, and an ode to that unrepentance. The boldness of Iranian girls
and women is its inspiration and its essence.”
New York Magazine
“The Seed Of The Sacred Fig grows into an epic of suspense,
an unpredictable domestic thriller where the personal is always political.”
