Title: Good movie, not great though
Product review: Moving story about a Palestinian girl coming of age in a turbulent world. The shoddy camera work was amateurish and annoying. Did the director really think it was a good idea to constantly remind people that it's just a movie and nothing else? How is the audience supposed to get "into" a movie if they have to constantly focus away in order to avoid motion sickness? Just leave the camera alone and stop running around with it! That's what teenaged kids do when making their own home movies.Other than that, it was a decent film without much depth to it. The music cues on how we should be feeling during a particular scene was another amateur move. Sad music, sad scene. Lively music, happy scene. Sometimes no music is just fine, let the acting do the work.I was truly hoping for a great movie that is sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. Unfortunately, I didn't find that with Miral.
