Reviews
everything Nadia did has nothing to do with Algeria for example we don't go down on our knees in front of graves , I have nothing to say about Nadia's looks because there's a minority in the country who looks Asian , but mind u Algeria is a north African country + if you're going to talk about a country and part of the story is supposed to be in that country, at least film there or somewhere similar
There are also lots of Algerian working or living in Japan so it's easy to actually ask someone about how we normally behave , that's if you want the movie to be well filmed

Not Good Enough
Japanese Movie '' Familia '' is a family drama that blends in the stories of different people from different backgrounds, as they, eventually, become a family.The movie starts out quite weakly. The first half actually was boring, as the story was trying to find its footing and get a grip on what it was going to be about. Things started picking up in the second half though, however, that also meant that there was little time left for anything proper to develop. So, the movie suffered, in the end, by the false passing and the confusion of what it is going to narrate ultimately.
The acting, on the other hand, was enjoyable throughout it, especially by the father, who was really strong when it came to the emotional scenes.
So, overall, three out of ten stars for the movie '' Familia ''.
