Obscure (2017)
Six-year-old Ahmad doesn’t want to remember that he is Syrian. He recently lost his older brother to the war in Syria, and now lives with his family in a Lebanese refugee camp. Traumatised, overwhelmed, disengaged, he prefers to be silent. Director Soudade Kaadan’s patient observation accompanies Ahmad, as he recovers a sense of childhood lightness despite his grief. Amid endless images of violence, the film poses a question about the future, and in Kaadan’s words, “explores the impossibility to verbally express what is happening in Syria now.”

The greatest movie ever made..!
Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
