Movie Report
About Movie:- A group of Lebanese women try to ease religious tensions between Christians and Muslims in their village. The story begins with a boy named Roukoz, whose job - along with his cousin, Nassim - is to venture outside the village and bring back much-needed merchandise such as soap, utensils, newspapers, lightbulbs. Roukoz lives with Nassim's family, and it is made clear that Nassim has lost his father. Roukoz tries to fix the church speakers, and falls off his ladder, crashing into the cross and snapping it in half. Other characters include the village mayor and his wife Yvonne (Christians), the cafe-owner Amal (played by Nadine Labaki), Rabih (the village painter and Amal's love interest) and his sister, Issam (Nassim's brother) and his wife Aida, and the village priest and village sheikh.
Movie Review:- Set in a remote village where the church and the mosque stand side by side, Where Do We Go Now? follows the antics of the town's women to keep their blowhard men from starting a religious war. Women heartsick over sons, husbands and fathers lost to previous flare-ups unite to distract their men with clever ruses, from faking a miracle to hiring a troop of Ukrainian strippers.
Direction, Performance and Music:- Like director Nadine Labaki's earlier film Caramel, this film is strongest when it focuses on the women of the story. The women are by far the best developed characters in the story, but collectively they are the protagonists. The story isn’t original, but Labaki’s approach, which seems to pit genres against one another the way it pits genders.
Overall:- It’s a fully Girls movie.
