From IMDb: “In today’s Beirut, an insult blown out of proportions finds Toni, a Lebanese Christian, and Yasser, a Palestinian refugee, in court.

Review: (#1) If you’re going to do a poster with two panels, at least make them interesting. Although the colors are largely drab, this poster has a lot of detail, fully visible and embedded, which gives it some measure of spark. (#2) This is a full poster featuring half of the prior design. It’s slightly different in details, but on a larger scale seems less interesting.
Trailer Rating: B-

Review: The drama plays out well, building up to a simple question at the end, a question that could be the crux of the whole film. Not revealing that is a wise move, but making it feel like there isn’t much more to it doesn’t give it too much excitement.
Oscar Prospects:
On the shortlist for Best Foreign Language Film of 2017. The chances of a nomination are moderate. The chance of a win is low.
