Movie Reviews of Lila Says
Movie Review: A Great Movie to Discuss with Teens
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this movie was going to be mostly about the clash of cultures between that of Western Europe and Islamic, Arab cultures. Instead, it is a very good psychological drama. Lila is a very troubled girl, one who expresses her inner insecurities in sexual fantasies. Chimo is a nominal Muslim teen, who is trying to balance his own dreams in life with the low expectations of his Arab friends.
Although Lila seems to be extremely loose sexually, Chimo's reaction is a teen's typical sexual insecurity. On the one hand, he finds this opportunity fascinating and tempting; on the other hand, he is unsure of how to handle it, so he draws back. He also, to his credit, seems to sense that Lila is very troubled, and acting out sexually would only exacerbate her problems. This is an excellent movie for parents to show teens if they believe their son or daughter are encountering such a person as Lila. Teens need to understand that many troubled teens express their psychological problems sexually, and taking advantage of that will only make things worse for the troubled teen. Parents might also wish to discuss how it would affect their teen if what they did complicated another teen's problems.
Movie Review: Excellent Movie that Addresses Cultural/Social Misunderstanding!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Lila" brings memories of youthful desire and adventure back to you as an adult through the intrigues of sensual youth, love, time spent doing simple things with someone special, daring erotic moves and innuendos... Lila adds spice to your adult life.
Lila doesn't see an "Arab foreigner". She sees the loving, kind, protective man he really is under all of his boyhood innocence, despite the opposing forces of his evil, selfish friends from whom his loyalty is turned.
A deeply thought provoking movie, adventurous and fun to watch, this movie teaches us to look beyond racial, religious, cultural and social upbringing only to look to the inside of WHO a person really is, despite all social prejudices.
I highly recommend this movie to those who think that they understand other cultures so often influenced by certain logistics and circumstance. It will definitely bring a new insight to those who are absent of that base knowledge of other cultures and lifestyles, and also to those who think they "know" others so well. It exemplifies a part of life that is so often overlooked through misunderstanding, personal conceits and prejudices.
Movie Review: Lila Says....A WHOLE LOT!
Summary: 5 Stars
Lila Says turned out to be better than what I had expected. Lila sure does say a whole LOT in this movie. All sorts of explicit things. She basically shares all of her fantasies and experiences with a young man who lives near her...and together they share very intimate experiences...although they never even have sex....The ending was surprising, I didn't see it coming.
Charectars:
Lila-a young, pretty blonde french girl. She has no problem saying EXACTLY what is on her mind. She is not shy or reserved in any way at all.
Chimo-A young, handsome Arab guy. Lila continues to shock him with her straightforward attitude toward sex. He is pulled closer and closer to her and her sexual games.
**If you are looking for something different and also very sexy, get this film. **

Summary: 5 Stars
This is the film that will make your heart beat forever because of the powerful and effective emotions on it.A great simple story about living the life of passion , dreams(lies_white ones_) and unfinishing love. A small film filled with fine performances , great locations(areas) and Arabic songs. Fine direction and great writing with a keen eye for details with such a small running time.watch this one if you loved DIRTY PRETTY THINGS.The rape scene will tear your mind , heart and body apart.Movie Review: One of the best movies in recent memory
Summary: 5 Stars
Maybe seeing this movie brings back memories of a German girl I once used to know, maybe that's the reason I felt connected to this movie. This simple coming of age film just grips you in its emotional intensity, exudes a distinctive European film experience that I find intoxicating.
Highly recommended.
