Maria Garcia Film Journal International In the end, the treatment of women and the actions of the fundamentalist gangsters give the film an oppressive air, so much so that even the music is no longer transcendent. Apr 3, 2001 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com abruptly ends 82 minutes after beginning, leaving you thoroughly confused. Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews Rated: 8/10 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I watched this film in a university French class, and I loved it. I found it gave me a different insight into the Maghreban people in France than I received from the film «Inch'Allah dimanche ». Sure, it covered a different period of time, but one must see how things have changed in France. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member this is kind a my life Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Hardly even funny and not really worth watching -- the acting's not that great, and there's too much music, and I couldn't really follow the plot. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent musical featuring rai music, the slapstick comedy was great, and easy to follow. My favorite Arab Cinema film! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Storyline is poor ... but the music is GREAT! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
