This movie revolves around a sentimental and beautiful subject. The story is well written and the female lead has been chosen to perfection. She acts very well , doesn't over do it. Fear is visible in her face as the story goes on , also you can see the raw/shy love in her face.
However , the male lead gives a very poor performance showing little to no emotion. When he's sad , when he's happy , when he's in love , when he's enraged he just offers a blank face. Intentionally or unintentionally done , this lack of emotion somehow feeds the audience's alienation from the male lead and instead of caring about him and siding with him , you are made to believe how unusual a foreigner is, hence you would side with all the bad people as well. Probably a better Middle Eastern actor would side the viewer better with himself.
Altogether a movie that I enjoyed and a lead female that my hat's off to.
