I cannot say that I dislike this movie, I actually was very engaged while watching it in its world premiere. The audience loved it to the point that they were clapping throughout the movie as if it was a play.

My main comment on this that it was a bit of a stereotypical movie when it comes to shaping the personas of the 4 sisters, especially Saba Mubarak and the Curly head girl. The movie could have been much better without those clichés of the religious woman who secretly smokes but judges everyone else and the westernized girl who is vegetarian and practices yoga. COME ON, you can do better in developing their characters. The movie tries hard to break the taboos and it is a counted try, but you cannot do that while forcing stereotypes and then breaking them. However, it has the elements of success for many commercial movies and that's why I believe it received the Audience Award in CIFF.
