Norah

A good movie in terms of directing and photography, but the story is slow and lack interesting events, and the dialogues of the characters in it are characterized by Superficial, non realistic and dominated by literary and intellectual metaphors.. A large number of characters inside the movie do not have a pivotal role in this story, as Dhafer and Noura's grandfather.

The teacher motive and history are a bit ambiguous, Noura character is unbalanced with her environment as she seemed too colorful while her cousin, aunt and other female characters are too quit and have no part in the story.

As if the story one line direction with the main characters. But not interactive with the rest.

If this movie has intelligent writing, it would be one of the best Saudi movies by far.

The film "Noura" represents a significant qualitative leap in Saudi cinema, where the director and the artistic team were able to deliver a superb piece of work that reflects high professionalism in all its aspects. The story touches the heart and stirs emotions noticeably, and the characters managed to deliver exceptional performances that deeply engage the viewer with the film's events. It is not just cinematic entertainment but a cinematic experience that expresses great artistic capabilities and impactful human messages.

I wish all the creators of this wonderful work more success and progress, and we look forward to more films that showcase Saudi cinema in its best form on a global level.

Amazing film to say the least, what a labor of love. The attention to detail, the passion behind every scene, and the sheer dedication of the entire team shine through. It's a captivating journey that resonates deeply, leaving a lasting impression. The storytelling is masterful, weaving a narrative that is both compelling and thought-provoking. The emotional depth is truly remarkable, evoking a wide range of feelings that stay with you long after the credits roll. Every aspect of this film, from the cinematography to the performances, reflects a profound commitment to the craft of cinema. The visuals are stunning, capturing the essence of each moment with precision and artistry. The actors deliver powerful performances, bringing the characters to life with authenticity and nuance. The music and sound design perfectly complement the visuals, enhancing the overall experience. Well done to all who played a role in bringing this film to life. It is a testament to the power of collaboration and the magic that can be created when talented individuals come together with a shared vision. This film is a true masterpiece and a significant achievement for everyone involved.

I had the pleasure of watching "Norah" a film by Saudi director Tawfik Alzaidi, and it was a truly remarkable and moving experience. Set in a remote Saudi village during the 1990s, the film follows the story of Norah, a courageous young woman, and Nader, a new teacher in the village. Their encounter sparks creativity and changes their lives forever.

What stood out to me the most was the stunning cinematography set in the AlUla region, which added a unique visual charm to the film. The performances were exceptional, with Yaqoub Al-Farhan and Maria Bahrawi delivering outstanding portrayals, while Abdullah Al-Sadhan added a touch of professionalism to the movie.

Tawfik Alzaidi's direction is truly commendable. His ability to weave a powerful narrative while capturing the beauty of the Saudi landscape is impressive. "Norah" is notably the first feature film entirely shot in AlUla, reflecting the Saudi Ministry of Culture's efforts to support local talents. The film has achieved great success, and I look forward to seeing more from Tawfik Alzaidi in the future. In short, "Norah" is a must-see film that showcases the power of art to transform lives.

As a Saudi, this is the 4th and last Saudi movie I ever attempt to watch. Despite the budgets and technical abilities, this movie absolutely failed to create compelling characters and a plot. There is no plot. The script is garbage. The characters are so superficial it made me sad to watch a talent like Al Sadhan be in such a non-role.

When I read that the movie is written, produced and directed by the same person I was thinking maybe we now have a Saudi Tarantino? What I saw was a Saudi amateur wasting time, money and effort. I made to 45 minutes and walked out of the theatre.

The greatest thing about writing a review about this movie is that you can not have spoilers because NOTHING HAPPENS IN THE MOVIE.
