Really good start! At the beginning, I bawled my eyes out. I loved every minute and thought it would be my favorite movie of all time. I just have a soft spot for a dad that is sad and tries his best to give his family the life they deserve. OMG, when I think about Younes's dad, I get emotional. Younes is a person who went through so many hardships that I can't hate him at all. He's cold, he may not be able to love properly, but I see where his emotional barriers come from.
I liked the unexpected turns of events and the way Algeria was portrayed in the filming. But one thing I didn't like is how much blame was laid on Younes for absolutely doing the right thing. He messed up, okay, but even the mother is to blame. What's more, she forced him to promise not to get near her daughter, and so he did it because it just couldn't be possible.
Another thing is they made their love seem so deep when they didn't even spend a day together. I couldn't believe that all the sacrifice, all this pain was for a love that didn't even show up. I don't get it. He did the right thing, and to end his life with regrets like that, he didn't deserve it. At least he deserved love and compassion. Poor baby.
