Where Do We Go Now?

110 minutes

France, Lebanon, Egypt & Italy

Set in a remote village where the church and the mosque stand side by side, WHERE DO WE GO NOW? follows the antics of the town's women to keep their blowhard men from starting a religious war. Women heartsick over sons, husbands and fathers lost to previous flare-ups unite to distract their men with clever ruses, from faking a miracle to hiring a troop of Ukrainian strippers.

Brilliantly done film. The use of humor to draw you in to the serious divisive question was brilliant.

I was surprised that a Lebanese film would have Bollywod-type musical numbers .. It is culturally interesting to see a serious topic presented this way.

Not only is Nadine Labaki a knockout actress, she√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s also a terrific and talented female director. I√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ll be following her career with great interest.

A wise parable for our time! Practical, life-affirming women join forces while confrontational men act out age-old patterns of fear and violence. A thoughtful, wry, and humorous touch!

Superb! This film shows why women should rule the world.

Poignant, profound and humorous: the message of peace brought by this film was extremely well delivered. Romeo & Juliet + Lysistrata + hashish cookies = hurrah! Artiosphanes would be proud.

The opening scene was worth the price of admission. A melange of Bollywood and tragedy, and an ode to the power of women.

A wonderful, uplifting fairy story about the intractability of perhaps our greatest divide

Wonderful way to deal with the most serious issue of our time. The opening choreographed scene with the women grabbed me from the beginning.

Understanding this film as a fable lets you appreciate the efforts being made by the women of the village to maintain peace. Their final solution was so innovative and selfless, one certainly hopes that it was ultimately effective.

A refreshing approach to a very serious situation. Very thought provoking.

Loved the use of music and the beauty of the women--came across so smart, witty and strong. They had the real brilliance in the village.
Atlanta Member

This movie was a wonderful surprise. I was expecting some horrible, angsty film that would drag on, but it wasn't that way at all.
