TOMATOMETER
Baya Medhaffar inhabits the role of Farah with a blazing exuberance that’s matched by a dynamic sense of place.
Los Angeles Times
Bouzid charts the complex contradictions of life during the Ben Ali years, when moderately tolerated freedoms were kept in check by state surveillance and a deeply ingrained social conservatism.
Film Comment
Ms. Medhaffar has the charisma, if not the voice, of the young Joan Baez, and as Farah she performs with an anguished intensity as a member of Joujma, a fictional band created for the film.
New York Times
Bouzid has real filmmaking talent, as do the strong performances she gets out of newcomer Medhaffer as Farah and Benali as her mother.

Product Description:
A young Tunisian woman (Baya Medhaffar) rebels against her society's repressive mores by playing in a politically charged rock band. As the country's 2011 revolution draws closer, she must deal with pressure from her mom (Ghalia Benali) to buckle down and focus on going to medical school, as well as the threat of running afoul of authorities. AS I OPEN MY EYES marks the feature directorial debut of Leyla Bouzid.
