What is interesting with this Cannes Jury Prize winner is the message that it tries to pass through its simple plot. This movie is not plot-centered nor character-centered. It is about war, Lebanon, and precisely Beirut. That is how it differentiates from classic such as Midnight Express.
That said, the repetitive story and the lack of conflict for the character is a problem as far as I'm concerned. It is interesting at the beginning but becomes more and more unengaging as the film progresses.
