Joyland – Global Roots Film Festival

Winner ​​Queer Palme and the Jury Prize in Cannes. “Discouraged identities and taboo desires emerge tentatively into the open in Joyland. Tartly funny and plungingly sad in equal measure, this is nuanced, humane queer filmmaking, more concerned with the textures and particulars of its own intimate story than with grander social statements — even if, as a tale of transgender desire in a Muslim country, its very premise makes it a boundary-breaker.” ~ Guy Lodge, Variety
