Loved this movie!
A great movie about how women turn themselves inside out trying to be perfect and the empowerment we can find when we finally just let ourselves be who we truly are. The beautiful and talented Sanaa Lathan is superb in this role. She's funny, sassy, vulnerable and achingly real. This movie is very relatable to any woman who has ever struggled with self-esteem issues and/or had her heart broken by love, and that would probably be all of us. Highly recommended.
Other awesome film of Haifaa Al-Mansour
Extraordinary film that talk about all the uncomfortable issues of our societies, anywhere.
I watched the film without knowing anything about it, and i was impacted for the sensibility of all the things that show. I was curious about who was behind this netflix production, and i was right thinking it was a brave and great woman.
Haifaa Al-Mansour has made few films but it is the kind of films it should more made. I am tired of finding empty and stupid films without values, without sense... pretentious and expensive, waste of money and time.
This production may connect with all cultures and countries, it has an universal feeling, that claim for the authenticity, and the simple things beyond the conventionalism and rules that chain our lives.
Dare!

So sutil that the man who wrote the synopsis doen't get it

Really? Somebody didn't get it. The best about the movie: is not about the men. Is mainly about a woman who set itself free. From her mom, the society and the man.

Relatable. More about discovery thatn a rom-com
Enjoyed the storyline. This is what little girls are supposed to dream about. You go with the character along the journey.
Beautiful film ALL women can relate to!
This was so well put together, Sanaa usually wows and as usual this is no different. The spark between the lead roles was so well acted out that a relationship was built with every single character it was a master piece. Wish we could see more films like this.
Did you know
- TriviaSanaa Lathan cut her hair off in real life during filming.
- GoofsEven if Zoe had intentionally sabotaged Violet's hair by switching the labels on the bottle to give her stylist relaxer instead of conditioner, there's no way her stylist would not have been able to recognize the strong smell of relaxer, as it smells like a toxic bleach chemical, nothing like the smell of conditioner.
