What the film lacks in specificity and interest in taking sides, it makes up for in style, authentic emotion, and terrific performances. Read full review

With elements of a musical, a melodrama and a multicultural romance, Where Do We Go Now? is as hard to define as the crossroads region where it's set. But even without a clear signal, it sometimes seems miraculous. Read full review

By the time the film takes a glib turn into role-switching farce - as Muslims become Christians and Christians become Muslims - the overall toothlessness of the satire becomes damningly apparent. Read full review
