A Very Realistic Representation of the Lebanese People
23 May 2020
I loved the movie. It portrays the Lebanese family as it is. The script is very important and it accurately represents dinner table conversations. It tackles the nature of controversial topics such as corrupt elections, racism, and secterianism very well. The actors are very talented. Lebanese cinema and tv almost never portray natural dialogue and instead uses generic terms and sentences the people don't use in order to try to impress (and fail) the western community. They also omit curse words which are a very important part of Lebanese society. This movie however successfully and accurately portrays just that. It even takes a comical hit on Lebanese soap operas and on their "perfect" dialogue
