It discusses a lot of issues with simple depiction. Very thoughtful movie with nicely done casting.

Algiers, 1995 and its women
johnpierrepatrick13 March 2020
Almost entirely in one place, a hammam, we still visit the variety of Algeria through its women, travelling along its beauties, its contradictions and its dramas.
A really strong movie on top of that, cinematically speaking, with a good story and strong characters.

Blew my mind

Vau, just vau. This is a masterpiece. I am not anywhere near Algeria or North Africa, but I believe that these are voices of real Algerian women performed by Algerian actors and directed by Algerian director. This film shows hidden depth of Algerian society that I did not expect (I never thought myself as being someone with prejudices, but it look like I had some). You are able to hear voices from all sides(not just two) and get sense of complexity of that society. Film looks a bit like a stage play in the middle part as all the women are expressing their views and experience (which I did not mind - actually I loved it), but there is always a strong line leading to the brilliant finale. There is also a poetry in beginning and end which I also loved (usually I hate poetry in movies, but this one is exception). Final scene is something I will remember for a long time. Performances of actors are superb. I believe that this film meant a lot to them. Brilliant, just brilliant.
Breathtaking
