As a Lebanese I find this film a step forward for Lebanese cinema. However there are many negatives:
-Some of the dialogues are embarrassing typical of Lebanese cinema.
-Some of the acting is horrible (Rami doueiri and mohamad chamas).
The positive points of this film are:
-the representation of late 70's Lebanon.
-Carmen Lebbos who is extraordinary.
-definitely a lyrical film.
-Ziad Doueiri who took Lebanese cinema a step forward.
I gave it 8/10 it deserved less according to my standards but we have to encourage young Lebanese directors.
A better Lebanese film is Le Cerf Volant by Randa Sabag.
