Jay Weissberg Variety Over-sensitive Islamists will cry ridicule, yet the Syrian-born Sattouf skewers all sexist and absolutist notions. Mar 7, 2014 Full Review Andrew Todd Birth.Movies.Death. That a dystopian satire is the feel-good movie of the year is a weird concept to grapple with, but you're just going to have to deal with it. Aug 31, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

peter s more like this please! story is 100% funny, plot and movie-editing is 50% - as its overly long, repetitive. cut it down to 1h or add plot twists to peek into the neighbor country > i always waited for this moment. had to fast forward, though initial storyline is an excellent idea! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Yellowfur D Swapping the real-life situations of men and women serves as the most fundamental irony in the story. The royal ball is used as an event to weave Jackie into the absurd power structure step by step, and his escape and resistance reveal many truths. The overall movie-watching process was smooth and without any abruptness. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
