    Simple, real and hilarious with deep meanings

    Although it was shot all in one single house, this movie is a constant attention grabber. It keeps you closely following the dialogue, which you can relate to as a Lebanese. A dialogue that is real, spontaneous and makes you forget the actors are actually acting. A very authentic mis-en-scene and a scenario that speaks of our reality as Lebanese families, with frustrations, complexities, and even fakeness. It is more stunning to learn that it was done with a very low budget and with actors having their first acting experience

    Reality great movie!!

    Great movie sharing lebanese immigrants thoughts and feelings through some of the characters. Also it showed how imperfect a family could be and become due to economical and social issues in the country. Loved each actor!!

    Well done everyone

    It was a great movie ... the script and the director were able to catch our attention throughout the film inside a house where 13 people gathered to have their lunch but we lived with each one his or her live outside the shot limits ... the simplicity in this movie makes it one of a kind and the actrecess and actors were all brilliant in their roles where you could not imagine that it is the first movie for them

    Brilliant!

    This movie is by far, the most brilliant Lebanese movie i ve seen in a while: Lucien summarized the story of a war-traumatized society in such a simple setup using gifted first-time amateur actors, encompassing all the issues we, the Lebanese, keep pushing under the rug (and they keep coming back with a vengeance), our denials, our frustrations... A look at the faces of the audience leaving the cinema and the silence covering everyone's baffled mind, explains what im trying to say here much more expressively.

    Raw and authentic on all levels

    Hard not to identify with at least one of the characters, all portrayed with such raw and authentic acting rarely seen in Lebanese productions
