The String

2009 · 1h 33m · Romance, Drama

IMDb 6.7

Skip it tonight. The String has heart and tackles genuinely difficult themes—grief, identity, class—but a 6.7 IMDb score suggests the execution doesn't quite land. Unless you're specifically hunting for queer cinema set in Tunisia, you've got better options in your queue.

Plot

Malik has a lot on his plate when he returns home to Tunisia after living in France. He's processing his father's death, he can't come out to his mother, and his childhood anxieties have resurfaced. But all of Malik's problems seem to fade away when he falls for Bilal, the dreamy houseboy at his mother's bourgeois estate.
