Review of Ghadi

Ghadi (2013)
8/10
A milestone in Lebanese cinema
18 December 2013
Beautiful and vibrant, it is very well directed and shot. Ghadi is a must-watch, and that too in the cinema! George Khabbaz is as good on the big screen as he is on stage. The cast manages to give hearty performances, portraying Khabbaz's beautiful, magical little story in a very believable way. The script of the movie is brilliant and for once, not about the civil war nor a sermon on the Lebanese society. The plot simple and honest, and keeps you on the edge of your seat in anticipation and excitement. Not to mention Emmanuelle Khairallahs touching performance. Expect laughs, cries, gasps and claps from fellow movie-goers if you are watching this in the cinema. Take a bow Ghadi, you have broken the norms and taken Lebanese cinema forward!
