Went to see the movie today with my family and daughter, and although my daughter was reluctant to go (she's 14) - she came. End result was, we loved, the kids loved it, and truly, every minute counted.
The film took us on a journey of laughter, emotions, sadness, awe, shock, hope, despair .. all happening in a very smooth storyline that flows in a way that although shocking, seems normal ... It's also because the acting was superb. Mohamed Farrag is a master, he did a great role and did it perfectly. Bayoumi Fouad is always excelling. Nelly Karim is great in anll her role. But another wow for Taha Dessouky and Farrag's mum.
Knowing the film originated from a true story made it all the more interesting and intriguing.
But what I also have to note here, aside from the overall production, and how the despair of many Egyptians was depicted, flawlessly, is the directing. Getting that work together and compiling it that smoothly in 2 hours, with the level of directing, production, storytelling, and flow, only shows us the abilities of Omar Hilal, the director. Really impressed. And what is more impressive is that we were 5 people, 2 kids, we all left saying the same thing.
Entertainment at its best. Great job everyone. Truly amazing work.
