It's a "what if" story that's hopeful but doesn't ring true.

3/4

This spirited troupe of women ... makes us citizens of the village, invested in their joys and fears. We grieve with them, under that burning sun, and hope with them for a lasting peace.

This bittersweet celebration of motherhood deftly blends wry satire with broad comedy while never losing sight of the tragedy of its subject matter.

The ingredients are all undeniably tasty, but they never quite add up to anything particularly memorable.

A trite drama with broad, comedic fissures undermining the dramatic impact of its unsophisticated social message.

I absolutely loved this movie. The plot is understated but also very impactful. It is a reminder that women are the backbone of society, and we are all children of women. ❤️

This Lebanese comedy about Christian and Muslim village women resorting to hilariously desperate measures to restrain their male counterparts from waging a religious war unfortunately suffers from a flaccid closure as bewildered as the title suggests.

A nice drama-comedy. The idea is very good gut it's not well developed. The cast is also good but the fails in story are what makes the movie not to work completely.
