Aiysha Hart delivers a mesmerizing performance.

The Hollywood Reporter
An uneven mix of serious issue movie and sensational thrill ride, Honour is no masterpiece, but it is an accomplished debut.

The New York Times
Mr. Khan displays a strong visual sense that makes pivotal scenes pop. The unlikely ending strains credulity, but what this confident debut lacks in subtlety, it more than makes up in execution.

Honour, for good and bad, is nowhere near as gruesome and downbeat as its subject might suggest.

Village Voice
Khan’s orchestration of suspense impresses.

Empire
An interesting premise but stodgy, suspense-free execution.

Shan Khan’s feature debut swaggers into its subject with more cocksure style than cogent analysis, like a tabloid splash designed to grip first and (if at all) illuminate later.
