  Many beautiful scenes. The acting was ok. Lacking something that I can't put my finger on.

  Holy shit. I just watched this at the 2017 Dutch–Arab film festival in Amman, Jordan. I was blown away by the high production value, fantastic acting, and laser-sharp focus on real problems facing the world right now. Bravo! Issues of radicalization of disenfranchised youths and the lowered status of women in Islamic society are very real. Everyone should see this film.

  Sadly, I was frustrated with the question and answer session after the film, which was more or less dominated…

  Filmed in the beautiful Georgian village of Ushguli. I love those iconic towers from the Svan region of the Caucasus (they have some in Russia too).

  Basically, it sucks to be a woman and men are assholes. I don't know how grandmas and moms let their daughters go through this shit, having gone through it themselves. If I was one of those women I definitely would have stabbed someone.
