I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Great comedy. The topic is serious. But the tone is light and ironic. A very original way of speaking about Christian faith and beliefs in a country dominated by Islam. But the film is also a family-trip. A road movie. A documentary. An investigation. A film about filmmaking. And so many other things... I particularly liked the social aspect of the film, and the part in the village when we discover how Christians and Muslims are so alike, and that all the differences we thought are essentially drifted by political orientations, rather than religious oppositions. Funny and deep. I recommend. FG
