Ali & the Queens

This movie had the bones of a good plot, but it got lost in the sexism of blaming the mother rather than the father for all of the broken family's problems. The negative,one-sided view of women made the movie less enjoyable or realistic.

I loved that the aunties welcomed Ali and gave him a safe place even though they practically robbed him on his first day in town.

I wish they would have shown Ali meeting his extended family of half sisters and step father. It would have been healthier to show blended families from around the world.

Good movie, but so much room for improvement. Dear Netflix, English dubbing would have helped too. Some of the subtitles went by too quickly.
