"This movie is going to haunt me one plus two equals two right? Death is never the end of the story it just leaves tracks. The story is tragic you will cry you will aud8bly gasp and I don't think this ever leave your memory. Pay attention to the parallels in this film and the words in red. "
"Not easy or fun to watch, but real, moving, and tragic. Great and current cinema. Excellent in everything. Just watch it. It will not leave you indifferent. "

"This film gave me so many conflicting emotions. I can’t say I really liked it but it was a really good film. The reason why I give the film 3 stars is because I personally didn’t like it. It not a film to enjoy. That doesn’t make it a bad film though. Far from it. Great acting, beautiful scenery, good soundtrack and despite the brutality it gives the viewer a really good look into the life of a typical middle eastern household, rich or poor. The story itself is like a twisted oedipus complex mixed with a mystery that leads to a personal dark adventure of a family. Civil war, psychology, culture, religion, and so much more is all wrapped up in this little film. Also, Denis Villeneuve is the director… the film is based on a book written by a Lebanese author. Lebanon has a prominent Christian history and culture as well as Muslim. Christians make up 34 and 40% of the population. To summarize, I think this is a film that should be watched by all, Christian, Muslim, atheist, or whatever. As an orthodox Christian woman who feels very close to her own country and has a passion for history, this film struck deeply for me. I can’t stop thinking about it. "
"I’m not going to lie, it was a struggle to get through this one and I bailed the first few times I tried watching it because I just couldn’t get into it. But everyone seems to adore this movie so curiosity got the best of me and I forced myself to finish it. I wasn’t moved emotionally when I was supposed to- even at the very end. But that conclusion was great! Glad I finally powered through it to find out the big reveal. Would never rewatch though. "
