This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Blistering performances.

It's pretty clear this director watched a variety of Western films and tried to contrive this nonsensical story. The cinematography was decent, but the acting was very patchy. Skip this one.

Basically a copy of Argo set in Lebanon. The acting is sub-par, especially the Seth Rogen lookalike character. Skip this.

(flash Review)Small time drug peddlers aiming to go straight are forced into one last job for their boss which sets them off into a new direction and vision. The last job doesn't go as planned and they get their hands on a pile of drugs. Thinking ingeniously, they plan to smuggle the drugs in movie film canisters as those don't get x-rayed at airports (not thinking about drug smelling dogs may be a plot hole). They go so far as to set up to produce a real movie to cloak their illegal activity. How will things shake out from here? Really creative script with honest dialog and acting. Mix in some nice surprises within good pacing and editing = a great little film.

giving this film 10/10 was not that hard, for everyone who is able to watch this film, don't miss a chance to watch it, very big shot is a very big film !! excellent characters building, excellent plot, very realistic and brilliant script with a very moving story, such an amazing film !! The film explores fraternal relationships, Christian- Muslim relationships, Lebanon's recent violent history and film making and all under two hours! The script is witty, the acting superb and set and location edgy and evocative. The ending is very ambiguous and can be interpreted in one obvious way. The director, who was present at the London film festival's screening, declined to fix the interpretation of the ending, leaving to up to viewers to decide the line that leads to Ziad's final act. It is clear that this film is deeply symbolic and represents Lebanon and its politics as much as any domestic action drama.
