Meskina

Not bad.... A good movie funny / romantic story I recommend to you.

The first original Moroccan movie on Netflix.

We need more original Moroccan series and movies on the platform!!!!

Dumb jokes, a poor script and very, very bad acting. This movie is supposed to be funny, but I think that only the script writers had a good time laughing about their own 'jokes'. Humor has got a lot to do with timing. This is completely off. It reminds me of the television shows on the Dutch tele in the '80's with one dimensional plots. Those shows were better.

I didn't expect it but the movie was quiet funny and story is great.

Maryam is great actress. Seemed that this role was written for her.

Finally a modern moroccan romantic comedy.

I think new moroccan generation is ready for it. At least in the Netherlands.

I hope for meskina 2.

"Meskina", a loser or pathetic, according to the local translation, "staying for auntie" in good Portuguese, a funny and sad film, is unfortunately what happens to many women who get married, leave their jobs, friends, home and all their possessions to follow their husband, and the protagonist almost makes the mistake twice... What an ending, Leyla's words are brave and necessary, good to know that this cry is coming from Moroccan culture, a society so patriarchal and sexist, just like most in the world... I am a Meskina, a Meskina by choice, successful and happy, I super loved the ending, girls and women need this film for life... Beautiful...

A thirty-something aspiring children's author, labeled "meskina" (pity case) by her Moroccan-Dutch community for still being career-less and single, sets out to once and for all find professional success and true love.

I don't like Dutch movies. Reason is that Dutch people just can't act. The few Dutch people who can, go to America to support big movie productions. This movie is about Marocan people. I like the story, I really do. But a movie just based on a good story is not watchable for me. This movie was painful to watch.

There are no actors or actresses in this movie. They searched for Marocan people and ended with Marocan stand up commedians, Marocan social media influencers and Marocan supporting actors. From the beginning to the end you see people who cannot act, trying to make this movie funny. Trying to be just isn't the real deal.

Maybe for young people, like teenagers, this movie might be funny. I don't know. For me I could not relate to these people. Jokes that are funny on paper, got lost due to terrible acting that was not realistic. Even the acting of this big girl (stand up commediant, don't know her name) who is the sister of the main character, was not funny. My 12 years old daughter likes her shows, but that does not make this girl an actress.

If you like Dutch movies filled with bad acting, go watch this one. But if bad acting is like horror to you, just avoid this one. Don't do this to yourself.
