Where Do We Go Now? (2011)
On a remote, isolated, unnamed Lebanese village inhabited by both Muslims and Christians. The village is surrounded by land mines and only reachable by a small bridge. As civil strife engulfed the country, the women in the village learn of this fact and try, by various means and to varying success, to keep their men in the dark, sabotaging the village radio, then destroying the village TV.

terrible... so disappointed.
Did you people see the same film I saw?
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
The acting in this movie is really good.
let's be honest, it wasn't realistic, but it was like a beautiful dream.In conflict areas, we usually don't have good intended, perceptive, rationally thinking people (not even the women), and the clergy, in real life, they broil the fire of hatred and sectarian violence, not quench it. I'm an atheist, so no wonder I liked the movie, but if I had watched it a few years earlier when I was devoutly religious, I would've hated it most probably. Obviously the message the movie is trying to deliver is that we should forget about our differences and live in harmony with other religions (and for that Nadine, I respect you), but I think the message is incomplete, in order to forget the differences "for real" and rise above all the bigotry and hatred religion breeds, YOU HAVE TO QUIT RELIGION.Other than that, the movie is laughing, innocent comedy, beautiful simple village with adorable people...etc, I could keep talking positively for hours... but I have to say: I was touched.I wish one day on this planet, there will be no more "us and them" because we are fellow inhabitants of the Earth and we share both splendor and travail on it.Oh... And... Nadine... : I love you.
As dogged a reality as it seems, men cause most all of the world's greatest problems (whether this would be true if women were in control is up for debate, but the facts are what they are). This film showcases the extremes that women will go to in a fictitious Lebanese village to divert mutual annihilation that is almost certain to come when a youth is killed. Sectarian violence between orthodox Christian and Muslim threatens the near-idyllic setting. All around, men kill other men based on religious beliefs that neither follows. Demonstrating the fallacy of holy wars, the women go to grave lengths--including switching alliances and hiring belly dancers--in order to buy their village a bit more time on planet earth. This darkly humored flick has soaring moments (mostly around the co-conspiratorial holy men) and those that flop (the brief hashish musical number). All in all, worth a duo of trinity forks from the highly co-existent AfroPixFlix.
Christians and Muslims lived peacefully side by side in a small Lebanese village until tension builds splitting the men from the two communities. The women from both sides decide to join forces to stop the escalating anger which includes hiring Ukrainian strippers.It was my greatest wish for this movie to be transcendent. With such a dire subject matter, it's hard to write a light comedy into the story. One event in the movie takes that away and makes it almost impossible to do a comedy. I can understand the attempt to lighten and enlighten. Events in the movie and out in the real world make this comedy sadly unfunny.
It just showed up on Netflix, and I took a chance! What a treat! I laughed and I cried! I think I also missed something , who let the goats in the mosque? Who put the chicken blood in the urn? I was entertained until the moment where they are going up the hill, I just didn't get it. The ending just didn't do it for me and was a letdown! But I gave it a 8, 'cause I loved the rest. Of course I am of Lebanese origin though I was born in Canada, it was just so cool to hear the dialect, the humour, the sadness at moments. The historical & geographical setting was well chosen. I can't wait to show it to my mom!
