Moroccan Badass Girl ranks first in Morocco on Netflix
Hicham Lasri's satirical dark comedy MOROCCAN BADASS GIRL made it to the top of Netflix Morocco's viewership board from June 17th to the 23rd, making it the only Arab film to rank among the most viewed in Morocco over the past two weeks
MOROCCAN BADASS GIRL, which held its world premiere at the prestigious Marrakech International Film Festival, follows Cathy as she approaches her 30th birthday. However, she is confronted with the harsh realities of her life. Her parents, fiancé, boss, and society have all treated her poorly, leading to a series of unfortunate events that unfold on what turns out to be the worst day of her life.
Set against the backdrop of a sardonic Casablanca, Cathy finds herself in a dark and twisted comedy that will shape her future. Determined to start anew, she embarks on a journey to immigrate abroad, only to encounter unexpected obstacles along the way.
Written and directed by Hicham Lasri, MOROCCAN BADASS GIRL stars Fadoua Taleb, Salah Bensalah, Malek Akhmiss, and Karam Lamrani.
