8/10

Very good! <em>'Wajma'</em>, a.k.a. <em>'An Afghan Love Story'</em>, is a well done flick. Barmak Akram & Co. do a great job at making everything feel real, particularly one scene with Wajma Bahar and Haji Gul Aser - both of whom impress with their performances, especially the former. Fully merits a viewing.
