The good: this movie has got a heart and soul. Such a relief to see a real movie about real humans, with real emotions again.

More good: the acting in this movie is honest and true to life, which creates an endearing and pleasant portrait of a loving family, whom we get to see live together from day to day. This may sound boring and although it is quite a slowburning story, it never became a tedious watch, because of the true to life emotions and situations we get to see this family go through. Quite ordinary situations, nothing spectacular. Just everyday life, we all know ourselves from our own family lives. But still interesting to watch...

The direction and photography are impressive, but without any desire to be flashy or in your face. Everything about this movie is tranquil and serene. We simply get to see, up close and personal, the life and love of a tightknit family.

Family love is universal. And so is this movie...

Everyone have his own life,feelings,nostalgia Even if we are family And our life have moments Love, Anger, laugh, Grief and we have to live all this And don't take a life seriously

I love this movie.

Costa Brava, Lebanon focuses on Walid, his wife Souraya, and their two daughters Tala 17 and Rim 9 as they live their lives in a rural, self-sustaining existence away from the chaos and filth of Beirut. All seems to be going well until a landfill is constructed right next to their property, sometimes even spilling over into it. All four of the main characters are unique and provide something of interest to the story. All of the performances are very solid. Their world is void of social media, television and the main leisure/pleasure is a very nice sized swimming pool. For me the best part was just observing the family members interact with one another to provide some touching moments throughout. The landfill highlights what I suspect was an existing friction between Walid and Sourayan, he wanting to dig in his heels in spite of the landfill and she desiring her life back in Beirut, filled with music, friends, activity. Things come to a head and some hard decisions have been made. I grew attached to all of the characters and as such found the ending a bit lacking something for me. Nevertheless, Costa Brava, Lebanon has a warm heart and one that I enjoyed spending time with.
