Beautiful storyline and excellent cinematography. Characters really resonated with me, any woman can relate to these women. Excited to see what comes next from this director. Saw it at Austin Film Festival which never disappoints. If you only see one film this year, definitely see this film. Really authentic story that is a good mix of comedy and drama. Great to see a mostly female cast. I've seen many films this year but this one really moved me. To see such strong and powerful female characters is always a treat. I know we're going to see more amazing films from this director. Truly beautiful story.
The idea of the film (brining the three women together under one roof) is great but it was executed poorly. The best part of the film was Juliet Awwad's performance. I was hoping that Rania Kurdi's performance would get better as the story moved forward, but unfortunately it got worse to the point where it got embarrassing. She basically based the character on a mix of previous comedic characters she played and it was very, very, bad.
The twist in the film could have been hidden and withheld better, rather than having it partially exposed in one of the dialogues ahead of its time.
It was an okay experience overall.

Spending a life time watching foreign films, the hard part was to find a good plot, a very strong story, and this movie sure have it.
The thing that I enjoy is how the three women demolish the borders between them, in other words the plot on how the demolish happened, it have this . . . The way the scenes turns to, and with the Jordan atmosphere, i'm very pleased I got the chance to see it, looking to see more.

Such an uplifting film that touches on human vulnerabilities and experience. Very humbling at the same time uplifting ,,, well done to the director and film cast !
It's bitter and sweet and also really funny. Women reinventing solidarity and community. This feels so grounded and full of real pathos. Want to see more like this!!
