Review of Caramel (2007) by Anoop J — 19 Dec 2008

This movie is one of those that will appeal a lot to a Lebanese person but will be an interesting viewing for others as well. I say this because a lot of what happens is very true and how it is in my country. The characters are all fascinating and very interesting. I personally loved and enjoyed the story of the tailor sisters and how she gave up any sort of life to look after her sister who seems a bit crazy and hysterical probably from old age.

The film is all about the women that work in the beauty salon and their secrets that they only share with each other and with us the audience of course. The secrets that they try to hide from their families because of the image they have of their daughters. This is a really interesting film.
