First things, its slow. Not in a way that the movie pace is slow. But some scenes takes longer than they should. It might be the director's aim to make us savor the intensity of what was going on, but it came out to be boring.
Again with the director who probably tried to portray the atmosphere on that day, but some scneses came to be opposing to each other. Example the class scene at the end shows a messy classroom with falling chairs and tables, but we've seen before that the students exited the rooms in an orderly manner, after all it was a British school 😉
One more thing, though the movie is about love in the time of war, whether it is between two children or two teachers, but somehow the whole thing looked disattches from the main events. There was an Israeli invasion to Lebanon in the medist of a secterain war been raging for 7 years, but somehow the students and teachers looked as if they are in a school outside of mentioned world.
