Press
- "Elevating every frame is Niclas Reed Middleton’s radiant
widescreen cinematography, which vividly conveys the fleeting sense of freedom
felt by surfers before they are forced to return to shore. No wonder why they
can’t wait to catch the next wave." (http://www.rogerebert.com/festivals-and-awards/tiff-2016-gaza-surf-club-mali-blues-the-stairs)
