Where Do We Go Now? (2011, dir. Nadine Lebaki) ***/****

Where Do We Go Now? is a Lebanese French co-production that depicts life in a small village in Lebanon where there is groups of Christians and Muslims co-existing.  It has some funny moments and highly dramatic moments as well.  It is basically a sketch of small village values and beliefs and is highly critical of religious idealism and division.  There are musical numbers as well that are sparsely spread throughout the film that add colour and character to it.  There is nothing earth-shatteringly revelatory about it and it isn't the best film of the year.  But it is a good film and worth checking out.
