Featured reviews
When I wanted to go in to watch the film, I did not expect a lot from it, but the film dazzled me and made me excited about the novel by the Algerian writer Yasmine Khadra. The method of filming it was smart in order to convey feelings to the viewers, and the thing that pleased me the most was pictures of us in the film with an aspect that we had not seen in any film or story before. It is the coexistence of the Algerians with the French at the time of colonialism, with the addition of a touch of other races and how their different culture affected them, and this was what affected the characters of the film, which was a true story of events. We saw them making decisions with the aim of balancing, but to no avail. The choice of actors was good in some scenes. I saw an exaggeration, which affected the viewer's lack of influence in terms of drama, but the atmosphere, story, and method of telling the story were enjoyable, which made me complete it in one sitting in which I did not feel bored throughout the duration of the film, which is considered long in proportion to a film. The end of the film was complete, expected at the same time, and realistic in proportion. The two peoples, with the addition of the real Younis touch at the end. Thank you for the unexpected experience (my rating is 8.6/10)
In a nutshell it's a romance in the context of the algerian liberation war, it's beautiful and sad in the same time
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.

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.

- 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).
