i loved this movie ,It felt like someone finally bottled that very specific Tunisian humour, the kind that makes you laugh because yes, this is exactly how people talk back home. For once, a Tunisian comedy actually made me laugh out loud.
BUT and this is my only complaint they seriously overused the French. Like I get it, it’s Tunisia, we switch between three languages in one sentence, but sometimes it felt like they sprinkled French just to remind the audience they could. A little too much for my taste

Still, the movie felt warm familiar funny without trying too hard i love it truly.

I had alot of fun with ARAB BLUES because I consider it to be a lighthearted comedy. However, criticism of it being too French for it to be Tunisian is likely valid as my context is quite limited. There are wonderful side characters like Baja and ‘The Baker’ that really could carry their own side plot or spin-off film. Golshifteh was wonderful per usual.

Arab Blues es una comedia, y todo está narrado con ligereza sin que la sangre llegue al río ni el drama aflore demasiado. Manele Labidi, guionista y directora, mantiene siempre un tono amable, denunciando, pero flojito, sin llegar a cuajar en el aspecto cómico con ciertos momentos de chiste demasiado chusco. De paso, presenta a los pacientes de Selma como una serie de personajes locuelos encantadores, trivializando así algo tan serio como los trastornos mentales. Aún así, los esfuerzos de Labidi, bienintencionados pero mal gestionados, se ven recompensados gracias a la magnética presencia de Golshifteh Farahani, actriz que lleva el peso de la película y hace más llevadera su previsible desarrollo.
