Good, many characters really well thought and played. Shows real life situations that are not often reflected on, or that are unfairly superficially treated. A good human and social portrait of women in Beirut, but some situations are the same elsewhere. 7 and a half.

Sex in the city - Beirut style with all the East-West hang-ups. A chick flick with nothing we haven't seen before but still a pleasant detour from all the Hollywood junks that float our screens. All the Arabic women are very attractive in the film. Won't mind seeing a bit more of Beirut tho'...

This is a great movie, you have to understand that this is not a hollywood movie. So if you're expecting an unrealistic story just to please you... you're not in the right place. This is a story of real lifes real problems and real joys. It's about love and sacrifice... Nadine Labaki is great as always. It's a must see movie. Bon cinema!!

Excellent movie!! One of the very few if not ONLY Lebanese film actually NOT about the war. Greatly captures small moments that we all experience in our lives... expressed a bit more from a female perspective (story of 4 girls..) but still funny enough to watch... highly recommended!!

[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
This movie has a lot of heart - portraying a group of women working in a beauty salon. They all have their own aspirations and disappointments. One has unrequited love for a married man, another is gay (again unrequited).. It also shows that desires and frustrations are much the same across different cultures. That desire would be to have a fulfilling, lasting relationship with another human being. The movie's setting is Beirut, which would seem to be somewhat more conservative than North America and Europe - all a woman needs here to reserve a hotel room is a credit card and internet access (not so sure about the biblical mid-west - but that's another issue) Also another woman undergoes an operation for the sake of her relationship - the details of which I will not go into here. Aside from that, the story is heart-warming and about real people with no grandiose emotional explosions. The musical accompaniment was most appropriate. There is NO Hollywood (Bollywood) wrap around where they all live and love happily ever after. There is a certain melancholia permeating the entire movie.
