Great and simple storytelling

Wonderful and a little unconventional story told through the eyes of a young Lebanese guy, living in the post war era. The absurdity of some of the scenes will be lost on non-Lebanese, and it was definitely lost on some of the reviewers here who didn't get it. This movie came out in 2006, the beginning of the decline after a few years of hope. The one day in the life of Tou captures a lot of emotions, a little bit of ridiculousness, and a lot of pent up disappointment and helplessness. Falafel and a little boy provide some salvation, even if on the fantastical side. This isn't for everyone, but I am glad it was made.

Impossible to understand

This is such a dumb movie that the only people who might understand it would be the folks who wrote and directed it. It is very low budget, with a mundane and often childishly written script. In other words, a very pointless movie that will waste your time if you watch it!

Anticlimactic

Meandering, slow moving storyline with an anticlimactic ending. I wanted to get a feel for modern-day Lebanon since it is my husband's heritage. I guess it delivered some of that. But made me sad for the lives of individuals and families made so hard post civil war. Maybe that was the point but I didn't care for the style of this movie.
