yeah ... another new actor want to be famous ... how?? a sex movie is a good start for her.
you want to discuss temporary marriage? yeah, why not? but not the way it is shown in the trailer. No need for half naked people and for bad mouthing.
That's how Lebanese people are! we need 1k years to approach other nationalities. Look at the Syrians, they are decades ahead of us.
BTW, I am not saying what I said because I am an ignorant person. No! I hold a PhD (from USA), two Masters (one from LU). So I know what I am talking about
I hope (from the bottom of my heart) all the failure for everyone who participated in this movie. Dirty stuff and sick minds.

Bas at the end we don't care . _l_
You hold a PHD from USA and from the LU yet no one tought you my friend how to write a critique about a subject . Let me give a 0 on this one because it does not discuss any real ideas and it is presented in a vulgar language . In addition to all that I personally think that you should go and burn your PHD and 2 masters since you did not learn in all this year you spent in university what i learned in life which is not to judge a work before seeing it . And for your wish I can assure that unfortuanatly not all wishes come true:( . Thank you for your silly article because you just made the film more intresting and you gave it more publicity .
How can we watch the film?
The film was screened in the NDU last month and was sent to Morocco and to Kan. According to my information the director wants to screen it in LAU then in public in the Cinemas. I'll contact the director and ask her. Thanks for asking.
Clearly you didn't understand the message behind the movie since you were blinded by a bit of skin PhD-boy. This movie shows how people think in this arab society and how one thing is perceived in so many ways according to each person's background.
You lived in the US, your gonna tell me you've never seen a bit of skin in a movie? Did it disturb you that you saw a leg or a shoulder in this one? This movie has absolutely nothing sick about it. And its main purpose wasn't to give you a boner! It criticizes this whole absurdity of this temporary marriage when there's nothing behind it but purely sex.
Some people think this temporary marriage will help them in after life or whatever. This is plainly just an excuse for women not to be called sluts out loud and men brainwashing women in telling them its religiously ok.
A smart women shouldn't sleep around 'cause she has something called self-respect and not 'cause religion tells her not to.
Its not 'cause you have a PhD in whatever that you are now labeled smart or intellectual. As far as I know you could have just been a bookworm back in college and now you have nothing to do in life but give retarded comments about a movie thats way out of your range of expertise.
