My Favorite Fabric (2018)

"My Favorite Fabric" is a drama that follows a young woman's coming-of-age. It plays out against a repressive family backdrop. Her sexual awakening is tangled up with grief and rebellion. Manal Issa carries the film with a raw, unguarded performance at its center. One scene stands out for its candor. Issa bares all in a moment of real vulnerability. The site holds just one clip from the film. Still, it's a striking piece of her filmography worth seeking out.
