Apr 30, 2008 - who are you to place judgement on women and the way they should or shouldn't live their lives? it's none of your concern how millions of women, lebanese or not, choose to live their lives. there is no one right or proper way to do so. with only four main characters, nadine was able to accurately and respectfully depict the microcosme which they consist. I applaud her and her work. It is truly worthy of acclaim!
faten87 Says:
Apr 30, 2008 - and why do you believe they live these things 'secretly', as you've said? it is because of people with mentalities like yours in this society that forces them to feel ashamed of who they truly are. life is not perfect, neat and clean. there doesn't only exist black or white, and the characters in this film show this reality. nadine's work shows the duality and complexity of these women, like that of countless others. their flaws do not negate all of their other positive attributes.
faten87 Says:
Apr 30, 2008 - so i would appreciate it if you (06pheonix) toned down your strong criticism and judgement of others, because we don't all share your opinion. and although you have the right to yours you have to be aware of and respect the fact that other opinions, beliefs and attitudes will undoubtedly differ from your own. you have to be a little more open-minded, and less discriminative.

Jul 23, 2008 - The music was actually put together by Nadine Labake's husband (Nadine is the main character, and also director). A BRIGHT and very talented young Lebanese female director. Great job!
lenucha Says:

metrocat007 Says:
Jul 24, 2008 - Wleh shou jehb Beauty Shop's struggles and stories and culture to Sukkar Banat (Caramel)? I saw Beauty Shop and the only common denominator is the fact that they are both done in a beauty shop. Silly argument!

Apr 17, 2008 - I have just seen this movie a couple of hours ago and I have been completely carried away by the rich symbolic elements, the soft and sensitive issues it touches, the colurs, the language... everything. I think it is a very complete and beautiful work of art. It has touched me deeply, and when I walked out of the cinema I was feeling so thankful and lucky that I have seen it.A really valuable, outstanding film. Congratulations :)
