Ziad Doueiri is trying to even things out. He's trying to tell us we're all human. Fair enough, except he's pandering to the lowest level of human emotions and setting it as the norm. As much as preachy movies put me off, lazy movies like these do it even more.
The back and forth in the Insult keeps you going, the cinematography is a valiant effort and the actors do a great job; on the other hand the story is flat and never takes off. The ending does the movie the most harm; it leaves you wondering if anything really happened!
