This is a nice little film set in Beirut. While the city wasn't a character like it is in some movies, it reminded me a bit of the Morgan Freeman film 10 Items or Less, in which LA plays only a bit part, but gives the film big part of the "look and feel". Caramel portrays four friends working in a Salon, each with their relationship problems. Now that I think about it, is this the Lebanese version of Sex in the City? This has a much better portrayal of the actual difficulties involved in relationships, including aspects of finding them, keeping them, keeping them too long, wanting to get rid of them, being selfish, being selfless, the value of commitment, etc.
4-stars
