Even though the representation of this story focuses on a stereotype that also happens to be a reality for some the film works pretty good.

As I said, focusing on a single point of view limits its message but it doesn't stop being importantEven though the representation of this story focuses on a stereotype that also happens to be a reality for some the film works pretty good.

As I said, focusing on a single point of view limits its message but it doesn't stop being important because after all, when religion and traditions'' forbid you from doing anything outside their norms is terrible.
