‘Qu’est-Ce que tu veux que je te dise? à mon époque on ne faisait pas des enfants pour les aimer. Ni pour être aimé.’
❤️🩹It’s slow and it felt like it dragged on at times but it’s beautiful shot and written so i can’t complain. Perfectly encapsulates the arab mother/daughter dynamic, generational traumas and some things that we don’t usually see in the media.
Nadine labaki is as amazing as always i don’t think i even need to comment on her superb acting lol
