Rating:  - Sorry, indeed...
Inconsistant, but it does keep you riveted to your seat. Robin Wright Penn has her moments in this film, and those moments are pretty creepy. However, this film was entirely unfocused and awkward at times, and while it attempted to be unique and original, this subject matter has been explored before in other films...and with much better results, I might add. The ending is one BIG cliche. See only for Robin Wright Penn's performance.
Rating:  - A Sorry Mess
Phoebe (Robin Wright Penn), a divorced and detached staffer for a New York based, MTV style music video network, longs for the mood and feeling of 9/11--most especially for the way her self-absorbed boss Phyllis (Sandra Oh) had relied on her for emotional support back then. Trouble begins when Syrian-born cabdriver Ashade (actor/director Abdellatif Kechiche) picks up Phoebe and he tells her about his family's problems. Phoebe starts deceiving Ashade, letting him think she can help get his innocent ... Read More
Rating:  - Kelly Capwell, You ROCK
Haha, this is not a pleasant movie to sit through but it boggles my mind how the filmmaker captured a very important type of "New Yorker." I also once again am startled by Sandra Oh. I've seen her in that Chinese Canadian movie, Dancing at the Blue Iguana, Hard Candy and this movie and for some reason, I feel like Sandra Oh's gaze is reaching out of the tv screen and touching my face. She's scary smart and I feel her strength in a movie even when her role is not a large one.

Rating: - Seth J. Frantzman Got It Right- Good Actors, Horrible Director
It's funny because this film does pull you in and intrigue you at first but it completely falls apart a little over halfway through. The 2 lead actors and the French sister-in-law are great. But even they can't save this mess from a director who obviously thinks that any stupid idea that he comes up with is flowing with artisitic brilliance. By the time the viewer is hit with his surprises toward the end, you just don't care that much because this film has already had more twists than a Chubby Checker ... Read More
Rating: - Rediculous cliche film
This film is so full of cliches and rediculous scenes that it makes one want to cry. The 'religious' Syrian Muslim man grabbing dogs and allowing alcohol in his house, his uncovered sister in law who looks and speaks french, the screaming white women who is really 'crazy' and allows herself to be molested and beaten and that takes part in self mutilation. This is just a rediculous film that in its weak attempts to 'explode prejudice' and 'deal with 9/11' fails miserably.
The director evidently ... Read More
