Jamal opens the barbershop.  One customer, full treatment.
Then he notices the client is on the newspaper headline.

 
Exceptionally taut thriller, wordless throughout.
Short suspenser barrels into survival and blood.
Perfect as a featurette before starting the main film.

The trailer indicated a comedy of newly arrived Palestine woman navigating the USA with humorous results.
Apparently, the trailer caught the only funny moments of the movie.
Remainder of film is OK, showing the harsh realities of Palestine, and the difficulties of transitioning to a new culture (be it 1000 miles away or half a globe away) where your skills, contacts, and credentials mean little.
Not the comic gem it was marketed as. Otherwise, tolerable.
If you go in assuming this is a drama, you may rate this higher.
