    Great German gay themed movie with a positive ending!

    Where are you going, Habibi? is a terrific gay themed movie with a beautiful positive ending. I watched this on Vimeo's On Demand service. The two main characters have been cast perfectly. The lead roll of Ibo, played by Cem Alkan, has one of those faces that lights up a room. He has a magnetic presence on screen and it is a delight to finally see a gay character that is not one dimensional and knows how to stick up for himself. His partner in crime "Ali" is played by Martin Walde and is the polar opposite to Ibo. Ali is a diamond in the rough, who is not scared to show his emotions and forms a special friendship with Ibo. I guess you could call this a "coming out" film, but it is much more than that. The movie is really about male friendship and what happens when that friendship becomes much deeper. If you're in the mood for an easy to watch movie, I highly recommend "Where are you going, Habibi?" It left me feeling uplifted and I wish more gay themed movies would take a leaf out of this book!

    Not bad - and for gay movies, outstanding

    It's a pretty basic movie but it does have its charm. There are issues with its rhythm. Sometimes it feels rushed and you get a sense that it probably would work better as a miniseries. Wanting more is a good sign. Having seen the two most recent movies of the director Tor Iben, I wasn't expecting a feel-good movie, but I understand why they gave him more chances to do his artsy stuff, with which he really struggles.

    It's an OK movie with a basic plot and several soapy elements, but if you know the landscape of LGBT movies, this will feel like a rare outstanding movie.

    Worth the watch

    Not written extremely well, and full of plot holes that leave you scratching your head. I could list them, but any viewer will pick them up.

    What it does have are two attractive, endearing leads. You could believe their relationship. Also, just enough social commentary to relate to the story and move the plot forward.

    It deals with their growing pains, the prejudice they encounter, as well as some family drama, etc. However, it also highlights how we cannot control who we love.

    If you are a fan of gay cinema. I recommend you watch it, support it, and just take it for what it is - a story.

    P. S. It has a great soundtrack by Bartosz Bludau.

    Not just a basic gay love story. Many layers including being Turkish in Germany

    Surprisingly well done. Subtle and layered.

    Great story writing, good attention to detail, great acting.

    Especially interesting angle of racism in Germany. Interesting vignettte where the Turkish protagonist is getting rejection letters until he uses Alexander's (blond blue eyed German name and photo) and gets an interview. Our household is still discussing the movie - it is quite layered and deeper meanings.

    The erotic shots were also tasteful and subtle - able to watch with my mama.

    It was a surprisingly tight movie too. I think it was only 1h15min, but they keep the story line moving.

    Not just a basic gay love story. Will put on our rewatch list for sure!

    Fun reminder of being young and full of hope

    This film can be a bit all over the place but the feeling of hope is constant throughout the movie. It's a story of a bromance that started out as a one sided infatuation that became a friendship built on mutal love and respect. Loved the character development of the main actor, Ibrahim, who is faced with life changing choices. The ending was a bit scattered but it is really a thoroughly enjoyable story. Did not drag and moved at a good pace. Highly recommend as delightful palate cleanser between binge watching dramas or really heavy, nuanced movies.
