Caramel Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
Perceptive and poignant, Caramel observes the love lives of the establishment's owner, her employees and their customers.
Chicago Tribune
Tasha Robinson
There's a pleasant, easygoing charm to Caramel, largely stemming from Labaki's rare determination to depict Beirut as something other than a war-torn, slowly recovering battleground.
Houston Chronicle
Joe Leydon
Its chief focus is the bonding between women who rely on each for support, and who really appreciate a place where they can let down their hair.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A sweeter and more believable version of Steel Magnolias, Middle Eastern style.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
In the Beirut beauty salon where most of Caramel takes place, women of various shapes, sizes, ages and backgrounds gather to bond and gossip.
Detroit News
Tom Long
One of those small films that give a glimpse into a culture that's both foreign and familiar. It's filled with real-life touches and small insights and wonderfully human characters, and the whole thing feels as real as crossing the street.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Consider it 'Fried Green Falafel.'
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
In a culture where female sexuality is problematic at best, how is a woman supposed to feed both body and heart? Through makeovers, support, and necessary lies, Caramel curtly answers.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A delectable slice of life whose flavors are rarely available on these Western shores.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Delightful.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Labaki elicits expressive performances from a cast of amateurs, aided by Khalad Mouzanar's entrancing score and Yves Sehnaoui's lush cinematography.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Filmgoers expecting My Big Fat Lebanese Waxing are in for a bigger treat: Nadine Labaki, who wrote and directed the film, possesses an astute instinct for restraint that makes Caramel smarter ans more poignantthan the average chick flick.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Don't expect an elegant, fully realized production. Do expect, though, to be touched and surprised by a string of intimate, urgent vignettes.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
Just another good-looking, gently humorous, pleasantly romanticized little comedy, which ends with everyone a little wiser than they began.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
It is sweet but not saccharine, an intimate film that doesn't stint on the desperation and anxiety that go along with the search for love.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Uneven, fluctuating between poignancy...and fluff.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Well-made and modestly enjoyable seriocomedy.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Everything that happens in this movie is predictable, and yet that's part of its modest charm.
Christianity Today
Steven D. Greydanus
A gooey, insubstantial confection, often sweet, occasionally cloying, sometimes sticky- -- in many respects about on a par with the likes of Beauty Shop.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Set in a culture caught between East and West, between male chauvinism and female empowerment, Labaki's movie isn't about to revolutionize a genre -- its charms are modest, but many.
