Baghdad Outside Baghdad Audience Reviews

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
