Yes there is little new in the way of storyline and yes the plot is predictable. But the story is done from a very modern woman's perspective, and as is all too often the case, a young woman who has been made to feel undesirable unless she is doing a man's job and meeting a man's needs. In addition, the movie shows the gymnastic side of pole dancing and it's ability to change a person's self respect through physical performance. All-in-all, the main character succeeds in moving from her insecurities to a complete self-assured woman. Well done Nour!

Went in with no expectations. I was pleasantly surprised. A wonderful movie that touches the heart of any woman who knows the awkward phase of life but this is about a later bloomer. I thoroughly enjoyed all the cast. The writing was beautifully done, directing made me feel like I was there watching. Very much enjoyed until the very end. The music in this is fantastic. I highly recommend watching this in French with subs. The English dubs were clunky and just terrible. That and a lot is lost without the main actresses voice.

This is an un-cynical, sincere movie that made me feel better about the world and people in general. All the cast members were excellent, showing depth in even the smaller rolres.

Oscar-award-winning. No. But if you are looking for an escape that is grittier than a Hallmark Christmas movie, more relatable than a typical Hollywood movie of this type, and thoroughly enjoyable without having to try too hard as a viewer- it hits the spot. It's a comfort food film. If that's what you're looking for.

First of all, the title in French literally means "chubby/thick/chunky", I don't understand why they translated it to "ballsy girl". Writing is clean and everything's done by the book. It's a typical French movie with all the overused (/misused) clichéd Moroccan culture that I usually hate, but this time it was less out of control and actually did the job at conveying what a real Moroccan family looks like in France, but... it wasn't the focus of the movie anyway. Acting was on point, I enjoyed Lemercier and Bedia's (Ramzy) parts, even though I would have loved to see more Ramzy. The story isn't exceptional, don't go in expecting something huge. You'll smile some, laugh some, and maybe feel a bit sad here and there, but the movie isn't really trying to get more out of you. Watch it if you have a hour and a half to kill otherwise you may feel like you wasted your time.

No jokes, just a few misunderstandings until a tiny little happy end. Boring and not funny at all.
