A directional debut worth the praise
1 October 2023
Inspired by true events, Voy Voy Voy presents itself full of comedic realism. A directional debut worth the praise.

Omar Hilal's narrative style strongly depended on dark comedy, which added an interestingly engaging layer to the storytelling while maintaining the balance of the classic Egyptian movie style. As a result, you will find yourself laughing out loud while still being emotionally focused at the same time through many scenes.

The movie followed a cohesive structure and development of the story with strong writing focused on details and smart revelations, character building led by realistic performances from an incredible ensemble cast, and the right mix of dramatic emotional beats that I feel were utilized properly a bit later in the runtime but nonetheless left their impact by the end.

The examination of real-life events and the depth of tackling crucially fateful societal issues from a relevant approach to the viewer created a sense of connection to the story and a sort of moral sympathy for the character's challenges despite the acts of fraud, which leaves your thoughts provoked in the grey areas of right and wrong. And from this perspective, I loved the efforts to leave the audience's interpretation of the character's images (whether as heroes or villains) open to varying personal perceptions.
