The most boring movie I have ever seen in my life. Once you've seen the trailer, you've seen everything that happens in the movie. No interesting background stories of the characters, no depth at all, no conversations, no inspirational elements, no nothing. A complete waste of time.

It kind of inspired my not to waste my life, but in the most boring way possible. It did not move me in any way. It not even really irritated me. Kind of admiring that someone is able to make such a nothing-telling film. To be able to come up with the idea and to really make the film itself. I wonder what has gone through the writers mind, but I'm not interested at the same time.

Four daughters is a film like no other. Mixing documentary with reenactment of the past with actors is as interesting as it is confusing to watch.

I found the untreated trauma, lack of emotional development and self reflection of Olfa painful to watch, eventhough the film gave a good glance on what life can look like as a victim of generational trauma. I wouldn't say I completely understand her actions but it's clear how her experiences broke her judgement on what's good and bad.

And for the youngest daughters, I very much hope they get the treatment and rest they deserve. Some say the making of the film might have been therapeutic for them, but I highly question that. The point where the male actor stopped the scene on the bed was heartbreaking and made me question whether the makers understood what they were dealing with.

I feel like both Olfa and her daughters - who are adults (looking at their behavior I thought they were younger), are not aware enough of their own trauma to judge whether partaking in such a film is a good thing for them. Same goes for the makers. But then again, the fact that I think that might say more about me and how i view trauma, therapy and personal choice than about them.
