Simshar is a sad, compelling and well-produced film, which has some brilliant, local actors... One word of advice: take a packet of tissues with you.

I thought Simshar was very authentic and it speaks about situations, which were as current 10 years ago, as they are today. Also, it fills you with hope towards certain people opening their minds to different realities than the ones they live in. A story that many can relate to in one way or another, whether it is the characters, the village, the way of life, the struggles, the dialects used in the film, it is very much close to home…not just locally but also, internationally.

"Simshar is about two very sad stories, one which happened a few years ago and the other is a story which unfortunately keeps going on. We have finally reached international standards thanks to very talented and passionate people. The picture is beautiful, the detail and portrayal of our Malta is mesmerising, and of course the talented actors gave powerful performances."

"Simshar is one fantastic piece of Maltese work, with extremely professional results depicting the tragedy we all remember a few years back. I especially liked the parts depicting village life and the Marsaxlokk festa, and how they were seamlessly included in the storyline."
