Review: A Saudi woman seeks to drive change in charming The Perfect Candidate Robert Abele © (Music Box Films) Mila Alzahrani and Hamad Almuzainy in the movie The Perfect Candidate. (Music Box Films) The Times is committed to reviewing theatrical film releases during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because moviegoing carries risks during this time, we remind readers to follow health and safety guidelines as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health officials. When Saudi Arabian filmmaker Haifaa al-Mansour broke gender and culture barriers with her 2012 debut “Wadjda,” its 10-year-old girl protagonist’s bike-owning dream was a simple yet powerful metaphor for what females were denied in the kingdom.

The Perfect Candidate review: Saudi woman seeks change

The Perfect Candidate – It s relative [MOVIE REVIEW]

“The Perfect Candidate” – It’s relative [MOVIE REVIEW] SHARE Mila Alzahrani in “The Perfect Candidate.” Photo courtesy of Music Box Films. “The Perfect Candidate,” written by Haifaa Al Mansour and Brad Niemann and directed by Mansour, is a film with as many ambitions as the lead character. This German/Saudi Arabian co-production was primarily filmed in Saudi Arabia, in itself a major accomplishment. That the director is a Saudi woman making her second film in that country is even more extraordinary. In many ways this is Mansour’s love song to her native land and the remarkable changes that have occurred in recent years. That there is so far yet to go from a woman’s rights standpoint is not the point. A few years ago, none of the events in this film would have been possible, beginning with the opening scene of the lead character, a female doctor driving a car to work.
