Meskina

My inner masochist was working overtime when I decided to watch this movie to the end. No amount of colorful clothes or characters could save this story and make it understandable.

I think the writers had a basis for the story but everyone was on non-speaking terms with each other and decided to write their parts on their own. The movie probably also went through an editing hell because it looks like its missing half of the scenes. And the acting..oh the acting!

Its ridiculously stupid, dramatic and overdone that it must be one of the dumbest "netflix influencer pretty faces empty brains" movies I've ever watched in my life. These movies are all the same, the only difference is the language.

Dumb jokes, a poor script and very, very bad acting. This movie is supposed to be funny, but I think that only the script writers had a good time laughing about their own 'jokes'. Humor has got a lot to do with timing. This is completely off. It reminds me of the television shows on the Dutch tele in the '80's with one dimensional plots. Those shows were better.

I didn't expect it but the movie was quiet funny and story is great.

Maryam is great actress. Seemed that this role was written for her.

Finally a modern moroccan romantic comedy.

I think new moroccan generation is ready for it. At least in the Netherlands.

I hope for meskina 2.

Not bad.... A good movie funny / romantic story I recommend to you.

The first original Moroccan movie on Netflix.

We need more original Moroccan series and movies on the platform!!!!

And also same expectations ... you can't make a romantic comedy without having certain checkpoints and cliches in it. It is almost a shame that a speech towards the end, that should never happen or be allowed to happen by the way ... anyway but that a powerful speech like that, gets undermined a few minutes later by the movie itself.

But first things first. We get powerful woman who seems to be on the top of her game .. who seems fulfilled, professionally and on a personal level. But it wouldn't be a drama/movie if there wasn't some obstacles to overcome anyway. The way we (in this case she) handle things ... says a lot about us and how society views the whole situation.

That being said, for a dutch movie this is quite well done. No matter the logic issues or the missing moral compass. Though the latter seems to be on purpose ... question is if the movie and the main character can get away with it. She does not win a lot of brownie points and favor points for that matter with those watching.

But maybe you don't care and are only here for the message .. the message that as I already said gets watered down by the movie itself ... maybe it had to have some ... well what people would expect from the movie rather than entirely stick to its guns ... who knows? As it is, it is decent ...
