Featured reviews
a love story in Algeria. nothing different by many other French movies about this painful theme. but the charm, the poetry, nostalgic sparkles, nice cast, the story, the measure of all are virtues who makes this film more than part of a series. because it is a film about holiday, innocence and limits of emotions. sweet, precise, a little cruel. example of realistic romance. and the presence of fragile, delicate, victim of difficult choices of Jonas in interesting performance of Fuad Ait Aattou gives, the sketch of Vincent Perez character, few drops of useful poetry to entire film. a film like an old pain in the skin of memories. not memorable. but nice. and this is the most important thing.
I gave it a 9. I read the book quite a while ago, before it became a hit. As is rarely the case, the film is very faithful to the original plot and offers incredible pictures of colonial Algeria. It sets at the time of independence of the country. In short to me, a mix of very powerful stories about love, passion and hatred, about things that have to be and things that are not meant to be. A very clever parallel between the story in the background and the stories in the foreground. And, a breathtaking depiction of what must have been the lives of people living in Algeria at this time and how debts of the past can affect people's lives, forever. What the day owes the night. A must-watch as well as a must-read.
Never let go the love of your love. Well explained ,mesmerising movie ,after watching,i gurantee u are not gonna able to get it out of your head for quite sometimes. It's just the way the movie is made.it has some poetry ,some feelings and some situations.

Wow I don't how to explain how I felt after watching this move he left me with a lot of energy to do what I have to and love the much possible that I can with living the great live by enjoying every moment with family, friends, partners for never regret a moment in my life .
Also he gave me a chance to know more about the history of Algeria and the battle how the Algerian people turn the rules ana win the war but also I think they add the disrespect image of the revolutionary at first and a little of bad words but I kinda ok with this part cause they give the feeling of the real reality , So i rate this movie 9,8/10.

I started watching this with the thought that it'd be a basic romance with a happy ending. I didn't expect such great acting, storytelling, music, pictures. Everything combines very well in the movie and it makes you remember about it even after years. It doesn't completely follow the idea of the book, that the love between Jonas and Emilie is actually a political metaphor for the history of France and Algeria, but for a romance, it is perfect. I loved how the director took time to picture the cruelty of the war and the unfair world, side by side with the sad love story between the main characters.
A story that is, to some extent, more about honour, respect and dignity than love. Even though it teaches you that true love stays with you forever, never dies and never is forgotten, no matter if it has a happy ending or not.

- TriviaThe place where the resistance organizes itself near Rio Salado in the movie was filmed in Zaghouan/ Tunisia
- GoofsIn English "uncle" means the father's brother and the mother's brother. but in Arabic there's a word for each uncle, "Khal" is the mother's brother and "Aam" is the father's brother. when Mohamed meet Jonas for the first time he said "Ana Khalek" (i'm your maternal uncle) but he should've said "Ana Aamek" (i'm your paternal uncle).
