Best movie I have ever seen. As a Palestinian, I never thought I would live to watch our story told this clearly and this beautifully. Big Arabic AND Western actors, real talent, a big budget that you can feel in every scene, and still it stays simple and true. The streets, the homes, the accents, the music, the silence before a tear falls, all of it felt like my family, my friends, my memories. Hearing our Arabic our native dialect on a huge screen with this kind of care meant the world to me. It gave respect to our pain and also to our joy, our love, our stubborn hope. I walked out proud, seen, and full of emotion. Thank you to everyone who made it happen. 10/10 and I want everyone to watch it.
