Huda's Salon

The beginning promised an intense story inspired by true events, but 10 or 15 minutes into the movie that quickly faded away.

As an Arabic speaker; the dialogue reminded me of 6th or 7th grade writing classes with a wooden language that is full of naïve and overused expressions. The weakness in the dialogue\acting especially flourishes when the interrogation scenes between Huda and the very fashionable Palestinian resistance member start.

Not to mention that this film is supposedly shedding a light on a just cause like the daily struggles of Palestinian under occupation so having the nude scenes felt a little unnecessary in this setting. And was rather used to prove that Arab cinema can be "Progressive" too!

The movie is about women being in continuous fear.. that's it the society and its stupid rules that kill women every day.

We have all the right in our land and it always will be called palestine, so if we want to get rid of the occupation, we have to respect our women cuz if you do not, the occupier will continue to use this matter to serve his advantage.

Good Actors and Writers and Story, I don't know if it reality story.

If the story tells the reality, it is considered as raising awareness and caution.

As I watched the movie, I kept thinking about power and powerlessness. The strength of the characters was palpable while the situations they found themselves seemed impossible. The acting was well done and never felt exaggerated. The bonds formed were believable and heartbreaking. I watched the movie with a group interested in learning more about the Palestinian experience and discussed the ways in which women are especially vulnerable in this context. It is an important watch and a story that is not commonly told. Again and again I am struck by how powerful and determined Palestinian women are.

Long live the resistance... From my point of view, as a Palestinian person who lived in a society that believed that the Palestinian situation consisted of being between the jaws of pincers, but the film opened my eyes to the fact that the actions of the resistance are nothing but the product of the occupation and the injustice to which we are exposed. Hani Abu Asaad has once again succeeded in addressing Dramatic of the reality of Palestinian society, in which the more the occupation's crimes increase, the more it adheres to the option of resistance and circumventing it. I did not expect this story to be so complex, but it at least explained something simple through narration and dialogue for those who thought that our situation in the context of this conflict was complicated.
