Drama. Comedy. Musical Christians and Muslims lived peacefully together for years in this small Lebanese village, but animosities begin to build among the men as a result of slights and misunderstandings. The women of the village conspire to avert sectarian strife though a series of harebrained plans, none of which succeeds in slowing down the escalating spiral of violence. When tragedy strikes, the women find themselves driven to make a deeply personal sacrifice for the sake of peace. [+]

	Media	Author	Review
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"An intriguing comedy (...) Emotions that can lead to death are not so easily defused by comedy, and that's the movie's problem (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Stephen Holden The New York Times	"The continually shifting tone of the movie (...) keeps you giddily off balance (...) A raucous sitcom"
		Mark Kermode The Guardian	"This bittersweet celebration of motherhood deftly blends wry satire with broad comedy while never losing sight of the tragedy of its subject matter."
		Ian Freer Empire	"A likeable comedy with heart and brains (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Alissa Simon Variety	"Genial and at times genuinely inventive (...) [It] offers a clever twist on Aristophanes’ classic comedy 'Lysistrata'"
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Nadine Labaki’s playful solution to the problem of sectarian intolerance has more charm than sophistication"
		Tasha Robinson AV Club	"What the film lacks in specificity and interest in taking sides, it makes up for in style, authentic emotion, and terrific performances"
		Ty Burr Boston Globe	"Labaki is a forceful director and a stunning screen presence, but 'Where Do We Go Now?' suffers from diffuseness (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"Labaki’s film is as warm and welcoming as the women on screen and her message a very timely reminder of the issues at hand."
