You won't be disappointed!

Instant Favorite.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Blistering performances.

I never write movie reviews, but I had to write one for this one. This is undoubtedly one of the best movies I've seen. It is raw, touching, and exceptionally well directed. The acting by the main character (Dounya) is phenomenal, and I am hoping to see her in more films in the future. Overall, its a must see film that shows the dark realities many people around the world face. WATCH IT NOW.

The film was spectacular! It cautched my attention from the beginning to the end. One of the best I have watched! The film incites who's watched it into a reflection about life and about the system we live!When the film ended I felt like I lost a part of me! I was still wanting to watch it and see the main character's fate. Has Dounya learned with her mistakes and afterwards followed with better choices? Or she persisted again in her ganancy for money? One of purposes was to just to keep the telespectador thinking about it and I am still.I love the soundtrack. The Mozart's Requiem in the film was as divine as the movie was!

I watched "Divines" carefully. When you follow the story of the movie, a few questions are coming up and the most important one is What the movie was trying to say to audiences? Well, the movie is trying to point out that achieving money in any dirty deal cannot buy a good true friendship. That is what I speculated. Family and society have very important roles in educating children and forming their characters. We see Dounia who has different troubles in her life including her family. She dreams for having money to change her life and her mother's too. But the way she went through it was not right. By making wrong decisions, she lost her best friend. However, she did regular crime acts to favor herself. The movie has a few extra plots and scenes. Moreover, it doesn't show what happens after murdering the boss guy (I forgot his name) for stealing his money from his home.If the story could be going on, then Dounia had to be arrested by police. However, this could be shown in the movie instead of extra dancing scenes! In addition to the explanations stated above, the action of players was OK, specially Oulaya Amamra as Dounia. Sound, make up and music were fine. All in all, I was expecting a better movie. My big problem about this movie is its story. I know people who read my review may not be find it useful because I criticized it from the point of my view in a way they disagree. My rate is 5/10.

I really wasn't expecting this to be so good, thinking it to be a Netflix Original, but upon further investigation, I see that they just bought the film, after it was shown at Cannes. The trailer on YouTube is rather vulgarly emblazoned with the Netflix logo.All that nonsense aside, "Divines" is a top-notch thriller, immersing the viewer in the ethnic diversity of the suburbs of Paris. Gritty and compassionate. I hate to do the "this" meets "that" thing, but "Divines" has the intensity of "La Haine", "Sur les levres", "Deepan", "A Prophet", and "Rosetta", without being derivative of any. Perhaps Houda Benyamina is a devotee of Jacques Audiard, but how could one criticize that?This is not really a movie about race; rather one that allows us (I'm white) to transcend race, and imagine living a different life, at least for a part of two hours. Please watch it.
