夏之五月

High off the success of her first book and planning to marry ZIAD, her sensible, stable and studious fiance, MAY BRENNAN has it all. At least that's what she'd like people to believe. Reunited with her family in Amman, she's thrust back into the chaos of her former existence. Her headstrong mother NADINE, a born-again Christian disapproves of her Muslim fiance so thoroughly she plans to boycott the wedding. Her younger sisters DALIA and YASMINE behave like her children. And her estranged father EDWARD is suddenly and suspiciously interested in making amends. As her wedding day looms, May finds herself more and more confronted by the trauma of her parents divorce. And soon, her once carefully structured life spins hopelessly out of control.

第29届圣丹斯电影节评审团大奖 剧情片(提名)Cherien Dabis

充满了美帝有钱到哪里都是大少奶奶奢靡气息，和其他合资片一样一股子水土不服味。另外真素佩服自己的直觉，冥冥之中觉得这部片一定会提及夏奇拉，点开看完果不其然。

不太喜欢结局，本来想扣一星。大概是私心觉得就这么甩掉我家sid是不是神经病。但是想想音乐摄影都不错，而且是女性导演还是……加上鼓励分吧！毕竟整体成片那么好，无奈却不忧伤的情绪也很棒啊！sid也真是喜欢赞助中东女性导演呢。（awww he is so sweet...

其实还挺俗挺狗血的女性电影，但因为有约旦的异国风情，细腻的角色刻画和不俗的笑料，尚算值得一看。

假装讨论宗教的家庭片 很欢乐 大家都很萌 结尾cliche 觉得好看不知道是不是因为好久没看电影了？！论今天终于写好初稿了 2014.5.12
