Featured reviews
As I watched the movie, I kept thinking about power and powerlessness. The strength of the characters was palpable while the situations they found themselves seemed impossible. The acting was well done and never felt exaggerated. The bonds formed were believable and heartbreaking. I watched the movie with a group interested in learning more about the Palestinian experience and discussed the ways in which women are especially vulnerable in this context. It is an important watch and a story that is not commonly told. Again and again I am struck by how powerful and determined Palestinian women are.
Good Actors and Writers and Story, I don't know if it reality story.
If the story tells the reality, it is considered as raising awareness and caution.

Long live the resistance... From my point of view, as a Palestinian person who lived in a society that believed that the Palestinian situation consisted of being between the jaws of pincers, but the film opened my eyes to the fact that the actions of the resistance are nothing but the product of the occupation and the injustice to which we are exposed. Hani Abu Asaad has once again succeeded in addressing Dramatic of the reality of Palestinian society, in which the more the occupation's crimes increase, the more it adheres to the option of resistance and circumventing it. I did not expect this story to be so complex, but it at least explained something simple through narration and dialogue for those who thought that our situation in the context of this conflict was complicated.
Certain therapies aim to kill healthy cells as well as the malicious, and in the same manner societies treat their own citizens to horrors while attempting to achieve some good.
Reem, a newlywed with a baby girl, visits her favorite salon where her coffee is spiked and she is blackmailed into providing information on her neighbors for Israel. Soon thereafter, before Reem can decide what to do, her handler is captured by Palestinians. Reem is out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Huda's Salon is the true story of people trying to survive in the walled city of Bethlehem, on the West Bank. Women are especially vulnerable in this society poisoned by betrayal and violence since at least 1967. Who to trust comes down to who people fear the most. The film is enthralling for the truths it reveals about a community that represses itself and where people are compromised in multiple ways. While the acting is not top tier, it is believable. From the director of Paradise Now.
