Over-sensitive Islamists will cry ridicule, yet the Syrian-born Sattouf skewers all sexist and absolutist notions.

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.

more like this please! story 100% funny, cut is 50% - as its overly long, repetitive, cut down to 1h or add plot twist to peek into abroad countries. had to fast forward, though plot is an excellent idea!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

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
