Where do we draw the line between love and devotion? An intimate and haunting portrayal of a quest for love and acceptance at any cost, Q depicts the insidious influence of a secretive matriarchal religious order in Lebanon on three generations of women in the Chehab family. First-time filmmaker Jude Chehab potently documents the unspoken ties and consequences of loyalty that have bonded her mother, grandmother, and herself to the mysterious organization. A masterful portrait of the toll that decades of unrequited love, lost hope, abuse, and despair takes on a person, Q is a multigenerational tale of the eternal search for meaning. A love story of a different kind, this documentary delicately portrays the complexities of the unseen power that intermesh the lives of those who love a woman whose heart is in the hands of someone else.

Dennis Harvey 48 Hills We don’t get much insight into the beliefs or workings of the sect itself. But we do glean how it has impacted Hiba for better and for worse, while also having a sometimes-attracting, sometimes-alienating effect on her children. May 10, 2024 Full Review Sarah Manvel Critic's Notebook Love does not conquer all, but it does alter all; and trying to understand that alteration is another act of love. And because this is an act of love, this movie utterly works. Jul 5, 2023 Full Review Hanna Flint The New Arab Chehab’s gorgeous use of light, shade and warmth to present her subjects adds a cinematic quality befitting a high-end drama. Her lens feels less that of a filmmaker but a daughter reconciling her affection and frustration with those she loves most. Jun 26, 2023 Full Review Kristy Strouse Film Inquiry It was contemplative; an invitation. Q is a multilayered and intimate directorial debut that provides some intriguing insight and shows a skilled prowess behind the camera. Jun 17, 2023 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy A fervent portrait of faith and how blind devotion can cause more harm than good. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 14, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
