Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - Boyd van Hoeij
A highly political movie that's also a personal story of two men going head-to-head while the women around them are left to pick up the pieces, this gorgeously shot and classily acted feature might be a reel too long but is nonetheless a fascinating piece of work.
80
Wall Street Journal - Joe Morgenstern
It’s weighed down by symbolic significance, yet powerful and instructive all the same, with a few flickerings of black comedy.
75
The Film Stage - Jared Mobarak
How Joelle Touma’s script progresses is heavy-handed in its desire to augment the tensions and provide justifications, but it’s still powerful nonetheless.
70
Screen International - Lee Marshall
The film also has plenty to say about male stubbornness and the casual misogyny that lurks behind the apparent equality of Lebanese society.

The New York Times - A.O. Scott
There is something undeniably exhilarating about the film’s honest assessment of the never-ending conflict between decency and cruelty that rages in every nation, neighborhood and heart.
