Kaili M @RT52797979 12/30/2023 This was one of my favorite movies of the year. Quiet, sensitive, harsh. Shows love between brothers in a rugged setting that no longer exists.

Set in 1916 in the Middle East, a young boy finds himself alone in a vast expanse of desert after the three adults in his entourage are ambushed and killed. With minimal dialogue, Theeb relies heavily on stark imagery to tell its tale of survival in a stark and arid environment, a boy's coming-of-age unlike anything anyone living in the Western world could imagine. It is almost hypnotic from beginning to end thanks to the stunning cinematography and the simple but compelling story. One has to wonder why Naji Abu Nowar has done nothing cinematically since Theeb's release in 2014.

The film find the right balance between a western and a coming-of-age story, but does not believe too much in its potential and does not create too much tension, and consequently get a bit lost, not unlikely our little wolf. See more 01/02/2019 amazing soundtrack and imagery, very well framed shots with startling and authentic beauty that reflects the beauty of the Sahara. Along with a very interesting depiction of the Bedouin environment and the premisces of its confrontation with the west.
