Community Reviews

Viewers are deeply moved by 'Divines', praising its intense drama and the outstanding performance of Oulaya Amamra. The film's portrayal of harsh realities in a Parisian banlieue, combined with its emotional depth and striking cinematography, has left a strong impression. However, some found the plot somewhat predictable and felt that certain romantic elements were unnecessary, detracting from the overall impact.

👍 Outstanding performance by Oulaya Amamra.

👎 Some predictable plot elements.
