Former journalist Dina Amer explores the human behind the headlines in her fitfully revelatory portrait of the woman dubbed (falsely…) “France’s first female suicide bomber”. Dramatising Hasna Aït Boulahcen’s role in the 2015 Paris terrorist atrocities, Amer is at her best exploring Hasna’s formative years, from joyful sisterhood to familial abuse and dislocation. The film’s latter half trades youthful energy for sketchily distracting deepfake experiments, but not before suggesting how displacement can breed desperation: even at its crudest, Amer’s character study stirs vital questions.
