On August 4th, 2020, an explosion like no other rocked the picturesque city of Beirut just before sunset. It was declared as the sixth-largest non-nuclear-related blast in history as approximately 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded in Beirut’s main port. The incident rocked a nation that was already in the middle of a turbulent political and social climate. 200 people were killed and thousands of more were injured.
Reviews
I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
