Audience Member Although her character is supposed to be a pimp, a fraud and a tough business woman, Biyouna is very moving as "Madam Aldjeria" and we understand her motives which are human. Just like her, all the other characters are marginal and have a dream - they try to make it in nowadays' Algeria, which Nadir Mokneche films beautifully. The movie, although it's a drama, is colourful and as refreshing as the lovely Aylin Prandi (Paloma). Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Exellente comédie à la Almodovar! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member ummm, bagus cm ad bbrp bagian yg lama n membosankan. yg jd paloma cantik bgt. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting to discover an Algerian movie. The plot could have happened anywhere, but the characters were quite special, particularly Mme Aldjeria - a strong woman with little scruples to achieve her dream. However, the film is too long and with a slow pace sometimes; I wouldn't watch it again. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member If a little long, the film is nonetheless engaging, and deals with difficult realities in Algeria. Biyouna is a rich performer. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Shiny, funny, smart, enjoyable, it's a bit long but quite refreshing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
