A hopeful and revealing look at the changing roles of women in Saudi Arabian society from groundbreaking director Haifaa Al Mansour (WADJDA), THE PERFECT CANDIDATE follows Maryam (irresistible newcomer Mila Alzahrani), a hardworking young doctor who is determined to fix the pot-holed, muddy road leading to her clinic. When her appeals for assistance are ignored at every turn by a dismissive male bureaucracy, Maryam finds herself inadvertently registering as a candidate for the municipal council. As Maryam’s creative and ambitious campaign builds momentum, she becomes a symbol for a larger movement, despite the community’s struggle to accept her as their town’s first female candidate. A modern tale of social change and progress, THE PERFECT CANDIDATE is told through with warm humor, rousing music and radical optimism.

This movie is an incredible look at Saudi women and how their lives are changing, but also negotiating new norms within the Kingdom. I highly recommend this movie!
