Mimosas is a movie project that insists you take it for what it is; enigmatic, ethnographically and geographically arresting, with an ambiguous moral sense. The visuals range from gorgeous views of the Atlas Mountains as characters wend their way through them, to desolate 'sandscapes'. In the words of Jeanette Catsoulis- "The sum is a movie that panders not at all to Western sensibilities, giving few pointers on a theme beyond the fortifying power of faith." 2.8 stars

Obviously everyone who did a critique on this movie doesnt know what theyre talking about or what they watched. The actors or authentic ragtag Moroccans. The tribes, barbarians, bandits and thieves or accurately pretrade. This film is about reaching into your inner sanctum to find God its about religion enlightenment its about believing in something bigger than yourself its about trust its about doing things with the right intentions its about trials and tribulations. Its about overcoming adversity and believing in something bigger than yourself.

Beautiful cinematography upon which a story that is a little bewildering. In the end I think all our main characters are dead. I think this movie is a commentary on having faith and what it means to be a man...(maybe). The end of the film is a puzzle to me. I am still wondering what that last shot was trying to convey. The best parts of the movie to me were the party walking on the rocks and in the water. Those scenes felt like a peaceful meditation on life and it's meaning. Beautiful landscapes if nothing else.

Great movie with an almost biblical mood, seen in the independent movie festival BAFICI.
