    Excellent

    by SABA253

    The movie Caramel had a European flare to it, in the direction and the artistic expression. Its style was definitely not American. It exposed the Lebanese culture and in a positive way and yet was critical of the culture in an intelligent way as well. I liked it because it did not make moral judgments, instead, it showed what is and made you make up your mind about what you think should be. The moral of the story, I think, is that even though a bit of lying may be necessary, but most people are unhappy because they are constantly lying to themselves. This is sad but true in all cultures and despite all the religions. The music was nice, the actors were good and the movie showed emotions cinamaticaly and not always just by dialog, which was great to see. Overall, it was a good experience!

    Caramel

    A great movie. The characters were rich and diverse. I wanted more. I have been to Lebanon a few times and was married there. My loving sister in law used the sugar hair removal on me for my wedding, it left bruises and was painful. I hear it gets better. I still married her brother and love the wonderful culture of the Lebanese people. Thanks for the film. I am still smiling about it.

    Sweet Performance

    This was a thoroughly enjoyable movie from start to end. It is set in an old neighborhood in Beirut, and follows the love lives and drama of five women. The movie, which shows the warmth of the human touch, and the theraputic qualities of pampering, fitingly takes place in a beauty salon. And though no character comes out of the salon the same as when they entered, the movie leaves the viewer speculating as to what course each character took afterwards.
