About This Movie
The Sticky Side of Baklava offers a rather unique glimpse into the lives of two Lebanese sisters, Houwayda and Joëlle, navigating the chaos that ensues when Houwayda decides to leave for France with her Québecker husband, Pierre. The film balances a bittersweet tone, intertwining humor and drama in a way that feels authentic, capturing those sibling dynamics that many can relate to. The pacing has its ebb and flow, with some moments hitting hard emotionally while others offer levity through situational comedy. Performances are grounded, with a natural chemistry between the sisters that makes their struggles and joys feel real. The themes of family, identity, and the immigrant experience are woven throughout, making this a distinctive piece in its exploration of personal upheaval in everyday life.
