Grands-mères de l'Islam (1980)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Zora has no complaints about her husband, except that he gave her 20 children in 20 years! Kheira, who was married at 13, recounts her story through tears: the young grandmother remembers the years she spent fighting to get back the son her first husband took away from her. These touching portraits of Algerian women were filmed in Marseille.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
