'Caramel' oozes honesty in every frame

Director: Nabine Labaki

Cast: Nabine Labaki, Joanne Mouskarzel, Yasmin Elmasri, Gisele Aouad

Cert: 16

Quite the best of the week’s releases, a romantic comedy from France, set in Beirut, that delivers on heart, wit, character and romance.

Set in a salon where we meet the owner – director-star Labaki – and her richly observed group of clients, all with their own problems and worries and hang-ups.

A film that delivers sharp observation and honesty in every frame, all delivered with a jaunty swagger.

Star Rating: 5/5
