This review DOES NOT contain spoilers.<\/b><\/p>\n

Ziad Doueiri, the director of \u201cWest Beirut\u201d and \u201cThe Attack\u201d is back again in his fourth feature movie: \u201cThe Insult\u201d.<\/p>\n

The movie is about a clash that occurs between a Lebanese Christian man and a Palestinian refugee because of, you guessed it, an insult. The drama gets more intense as the fight becomes a national concern later on in the movie.<\/p>\n

The power of the movie is that it has a lot of important sub-messages about media, lawyers, communication, war, and love, by showing you what really happens behind the scenes away from the public and how each opposing person is handling the situation.<\/p>\n

The movie ending is what really gave me goosebumps and made me stay glued to my seat for the whole credits. Although I really loved the movie, I have some comments on it.<\/p>\n

In some cases, I found people are taking actions and talking in a way they wouldn\u2019t in real life, especially in Lebanon. Also, some scenes start and end in a weird and disconnected way, in addition to that, there\u2019s a lot of continuity errors that were distracting.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the movie is definitely one of the best Lebanese movies that I’ve watched this year, if not the best – and one of the best in the history of Lebanese movies. <\/p>\n

My Rating:<\/b> 8\/10<\/p>\n
