5.0 out of 5 stars Old Fashioned Love Story, November 1, 2007

This review is from: Sabah: A Love Story (DVD)

I stumbled upon "Sabah" on The Sundance Channel and was very glad to see it released on DVD. "Sabah" is a surprisingly touching film that is engaging and beautifully acted. It's a throwback to a long gone era of romantic films. And not a major Hollywood star in sight (thank goodness). Arsinee Khanjian gives a wonderful performance as Sabah, a middle-aged woman struggling to find freedom in love while being stuck inside her strict Muslim family. The real treat is Shawn Doyle as her would-be suitor. "Sabah" is a sweet little film that tells a universal story of love and romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars A movie to make you smile, October 1, 2008

This review is from: Sabah: A Love Story (DVD)

This is a truly lovely little movie that celebrates the best impulses in human beings. The fact that it deals with Syrian Mulsims is incidental. Its story could easily apply to any other ethnic group at its moment of moving from insularity to full citizenship in a larger culture. You. Will. Love. It.

3.0 out of 5 stars My Big Fat Syrian Wedding, July 1, 2007

This review is from: Sabah: A Love Story (DVD)

Sabah is a sweet My Big Fat Greek Wedding, only with Syrian Muslims. Some of the acting is shaky, especially in the beginning. Family members in the first scenes have to explain things to the audience in a bit too much explication. Strange then that the family relationships of all the people don't get sorted out very well. Are there four sisters? Three sisters and a daughter? Two sisters, a sister-in-law, and a daughter? Bingo!

But the funny, predictable moments of the forbidden romance, and the tender feelings and slow courtship of the couple in question, will satisfy viewers who stick with it past the first 15 minutes. Expect standard culture-clash jokes and tension, but in a fairly satisfying romantic comedy concoction.
