I watched this on a recent flight, and it was a truly beautiful and disturbing movie. Some in France criticized it because they claimed it humanized terrorists. First off terrorists do happen to be humans (the movie didn't do them any favors though), second and more important the movie demonstrated how absurd the views of the extremists actually are. It is in French and Arabic, with English subtitles. I think most readers of SWJ will enjoy it.
