88A brisk dramatic comedy that combines melodrama, humor and social critique in equal measure.

80An effective look at women's lives in a decidedly non-Hollywood setting.

80Caramel will likely be the Lebanese selection for Academy Award for “Best Foreign Film;” it’s inconceivable to me that it won’t win, but it’ll still be an injustice if it does. Caramel deserves to be in the categories with the big boys, so to speak, and whoever wins for Best Actress will be the second most deserving actress of 2007.

The film itself, while charming and gently funny, is entirely unexceptional.
