“Discouraged identities and taboo desires emerge tentatively into the open in Joyland. Tartly funny and plungingly sad in equal measure, this nuanced queer filmmaking, is more concerned with the textures and particulars of its own intimate story than with grander social statements as a tale of transgender desire in a Muslim country.” ~ Guy Lodge, Variety
