Forte

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

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!

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.

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.
