    Labaki fails terribly trying to combine in the same film a lighthearted comedy and a serious statement on intolerance in the Middle East. Her story constantly moves with no tact from constant silly jokes to tragedy to corny melodrama, and finishes in an unvelievably naive last sc... read moreene that is an offense to the viewer's intelligence.

Where Do We Go Now? is a tragic-comic fable that speaks to how we live now, and have lived for far too long. Full Review

Labaki is a forceful director and a stunning screen presence, but "Where Do We Go Now?" suffers from diffuseness. Full Review

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

It's a fresh take on Mideast strife to see the endless battles from a feisty feminist point of view, but most of the acting and plotting is subpar. Full Review

Linda Barnard, Toronto Star

The meandering script occasionally has an unpolished feel, confusingly taking too long to flesh out parts of the story while making unsettling swings from comedy to tragedy and back. Full Review

John DeFore, Washington Post

A satire in which pathos competes with light comedy and neither quite flourishes. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The movie is never quite bold enough to point out the contradiction of Muslims and Christians hating one another, even though they both in theory worship the same god. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

Making a movie about sectarian violence in which the local religious figures are comically powerless, at worst, seems like too easy a path to take. Nothing springs from nothing. Full Review

Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post

The lack of flow and coherence in "Where Do We Go Now?'' leaves not only the characters, but also the audience, wondering where to go. Full Review

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times

In the end, "Where Do We Go Now?" has little to say about human conflict beyond the obvious. Full Review

Stephen Holden, New York Times

The continually shifting tone of the movie, whose director also did the romantic comedy "Caramel," keeps you giddily off balance. Full Review
