Chaos

A ferocious condemnation of Islam's chattel-like treatment of its women masquerading as a quirky thriller. Thankfully the film shows rather than tells, its punches thrown organically from the narrative & building 4 maximum impact. Unfortunately the narrative wants 2 do so much it becomes unwieldy at times, esp. some clunky attempts at comedy. Still, it's a perfect example of how 2 pace a film, telling a story almost any other director would take 3 hours 2 tell & doing it in half the time

"Remarkable in that it approaches its assortment of characters with an even hand, regardless of their behavior--until the final third, that is." - Chuck Rudolph
