An official source told Reuters that the film “promotes homosexuality and other Western deviances” and “does not comply with Algeria’s religious and cultural beliefs.”

It didn’t even promote “homosexuality” per se - rather it was a firehose of American feminist cliches and contradictions, coated in thick saccharin syrup.

Yes, when a plane leaves Saudi airspace, the Saudis onboard will empty the plane of all liquor, and head straight for the Nudie Bar when the plane lands.
