this is such an underrated movie, had it been released in the US i think it would definetly be way more well-known. the scene with the little boy made me cry so hard and i found myself smiling at their brief moments of happiness. i wasnt expecting a moroccan movie to discuss queer topics but they handled it with such realism too, Randa and Haifa's drunken conversation about moving to spain and being themselves has such a bittersweet familiarity to it

nabil ayouch is a great and impactful film maker with talented work that im yet to see. in this film he clearly intended to show the raw and dark reality of morocco and although it accurately represented a specific side of moroccan society, it was a very tough watch and it’s easy to understand why it shocked the public back then. i wish that instead of repeatedly showing explicit moments, the film focused more on the reason behind it so the audience can sympathize more. on a positive note, in terms of visuals, the film was aesthetically pleasing and it showcased the beauty of marrakech very accurately <3

I have no idea what to think about this movie except for the fact that it shows a really sad reality some girls go through here in Morocco. I’m rating it a 3 bc it could’ve been better without the explicit scenes made only for the movie to be controversial,
