JACOB POLACKAL THOMAS Not only was this the best movie i've ever seen it was also the worst. THis movie made me question life itself but the biggest question i found myself asking was, who won the garden contest? ANother central theme of this movie is the beloved grandmother who nurtured her son and grandchildren, why there wasn't a statue erected in her honor is a mystery to me. Long live grandma T. #thunstofam #re2pectopatronum. Zouina was an okay person but the star of the film was definitely the bus driver who rescued the children from a burning building, he truly is a saint. I hope everyone watches this movie because it wastes at least 3 days of class, maybe 3 and a half if andre does a music mercredi. Goober gang over everything shout out to ms neville for teaching lit.

Chris_Docker Whilst we've seen many movies about the problems that ethnic minorities experience integrating in an adopted country, the experience of France is unusual inasmuch as the main immigrant population is Algerian - a country whose customs and culture are in stark isolation to those of the majority of the French. Whilst the film is flawed with a number of clichés to make it watchable and enjoyable rather than a documentary, it is serious filmmaking drawing attention to an unusual dilemma and quite engrossing.

ozoz2000 SF International FF had a showing of this movie last night. I laughed, I cried, I cringed, I loved. It was a good mix of emotions dealing with women's place in society. Definitely worth seeing.Good acting overall... The bride and the mother-in-law were both great! I especially liked the scene where mother-in-law suddenly remembers back home and starts crying - showing her unexpected soft side.The ending left me puzzled. I could have handled it better if the credits started rolling after the main character broke the window with her bare fist. It seemed like the director wanted a more pleasant ending but -somehow- did not want to shoot a 30 minutes wrap up for the story so just gave us a sudden turn of events, characters!The music was noteworthy, especially the one played while the final credits were rolling!Nice cinematography. Colors were very pretty...

epetrov This one should be a real crowd pleaser. It's a women's film that evokes both laughter and tears. It's got a sympathetic Muslim protagonist, Zoina, who evolves into a feminist icon. The musical sound track is emotional dynamite, even though the lyrics are largely untranslated and may, one suspects, contain information that would illuminate the narrative. There are lots of fascinating cross-cultural devices. All this and a happy ending too. The only problem with Inch Allah Dimanche is that it's artistically spurious. The most glaring deficiency is character development. There is no explanation, for example, as to how this Algerian woman came to be such a cultural anomaly. We can see her growing anger and rebellion under the rain of abuse from her mother-in-law and husband, but where is the wellspring of prior experience? And, even more troublesome, how do we explain the sudden transformation of her heretofore stereotypical Arab husband in the final scene? Audiences, however, are likely love this film in spite of its obvious flaws.
