I believe it was well-intended, to see how the horizon of the Arabs regarding the psychological aspect of their daily practice. As a society that has even less belief in the talking "cure", the premise of opening a psychoanalysis practice in Tunisia is intriguing. Yet, Arab Blues fell flat in exploring how the challenges go and expanding the awareness of how we could benefit in actually addressing our inner struggles to a professional. There are too many either unresolved subtopics or effortless nonsense resolutions happening by the end of the film and Selma is seen as a snob rather than an empathetic.
