Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Disturbing yet enthralling

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The movie was quite interesting. As an Algerian, i was very sensible and worrying. It tells the story of Algeria as a simple Algerian knows it. I had cried for the reality of simulating to the real events( the paralyzed president, the unqualified ministers, the system and everything). However the translation between the events was not bad but not good as well. it was a little bit tiring and boring. I recommend to everyone who wants to know how a simple Algerian is feeling right now ..
