Ali: Fear Eats the Soul

Saw Ali: Fear Eats the Soul. It's about an old woman who falls in love with a young Moroccan man. It was terribly sweet and touching. The ending was especially good. Happy but not pat, only life bumbling on in its messy way. The reaction of her neighbors after she takes a trip halfway through the film confused me (of course the trip may have been years long?) I liked how she wasn't conventionally attractive, but kind of old and genuinely dowdy. A very sweet film.
