Where Do We Go Now?

It's a "what if" story that's hopeful but doesn't ring true.

This spirited troupe of women ... makes us citizens of the village, invested in their joys and fears. We grieve with them, under that burning sun, and hope with them for a lasting peace.

This bittersweet celebration of motherhood deftly blends wry satire with broad comedy while never losing sight of the tragedy of its subject matter.

Where Do We Go Now?had me from its opening scene and never let go.

The ingredients are all undeniably tasty, but they never quite add up to anything particularly memorable.

A trite drama with broad, comedic fissures undermining the dramatic impact of its unsophisticated social message.

Working so hard on the rapport and comedy early on means that the dramatic elements, when they do come, jar a little.
