Caramel (2008)

Lebanese Drama/Comedy - A Beirut beauty salon - life struggles of several women attempting to deal with societal expectations. One in love with a married man, another soon to be married to a man who she must deceive into thinking she is a virgin, and a female hair stylist who has a woman client seemingly in love with her. More of a slice of Lebanese life than a story, and more dramatic than funny, I was a tad disappointed in this movie. Though the photography was detailed, it seemed almost documentary in tone. And with so many characters, personality could not be explored in great depth. 96 min.
