Such a lovely film. Rented it through Cinema Paradiso, I am obsessed with French cinema and this was among all the French ones so added it to my list and when it arrived I discovered it wasn't French but I was not disappointed at all. It was such a lovely film,cheerful and sweet,

Director,leading lady Nadine Labaki is highly talented and very charming. the characters are true to life and the situations are interesting. The seamstress Rose and her customer are very well portrayed and all the girls with their fads and fashions shine with Lyale standing out. Congratulations to Nadine. Hope to see more of your films. The wedding cake business of both the girls is not only interesting but metaphoric. The day to day activities are brought to life in a very beautiful way. Grown up girls and their problems in society have been well brought out with charming episodes. No where does the film have any boring or sentimental asides to disturb the spectator.All told this definitely is a new and pleasant experience.

I watched this film for one reason = it gives the viewer a look at life in Beirut. The story is innocent it is about a woman who owns a beauty shop Si Belle and the 3 other women who work in the shop.It has humor and also details various problems they are having in their lives... a non virgin getting married...a older one who wants to be an actress. And the main character who is having an affair with a married policeman.It is not exceptionally good or bad...however the crazy old lady got on your nerves after awhile.Watch it for the reason I did only.

I watched this movie today and I can say I am a bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the movie wasn't bad in general, but I was expecting more. It's the hype, again...Coming from Greece, I can say that I found the situation described in the movie pretty familiar and that's another excuse for my low vote (7/10).It's like an hour since I saw the movie and if you I had to say three things about the movie I'd say "Habibi" (the Arabic word for "love", I think), "Lili" and "Oh my, Nadine's eyes are so stunning".All in all, it's a good way to spent some time.
