Voy! Voy! Voy!

Before entering Voy! Voy! Voy!, I was worried about taking the true story (which the movie is based on it) to a cringe way filled up with moral messages mixed with silly jokes.

THE FILM WAS NOTHING LIKE THAT!

I had one of the most amazing experiences watching Egyptian film.

A risky journey full of pure funny moments and hilarious situations.

It's a film meant to be a classic in the future. Perfect use of hard cuts and drawing characters with multiple dimensions. And the smart plot twists are a bonus!

Do you love comedies? Thrillers? True stories? Adventures?

You will LOVE "Voy! Voy! Voy!".

What's most exciting about this film is its departure from the formulaic and often shallow movies that have dominated Egyptian cinema. It represents a bold step towards creating meaningful and thought-provoking films that resonate with both local and international audiences. It's a refreshing change from the typical silly comedies and predictable romances, and it paves the way for a new era of Egyptian cinema.

In conclusion, this Egyptian film is a true gem that deserves recognition and praise. With its outstanding filming, impeccable writing, and exceptional acting, it's a testament to the evolving and promising future of Egyptian cinema. It not only entertains but also challenges and inspires, leaving a lasting impression on anyone fortunate enough to experience it.

This movie is so well done! A must see if you know anything about Egypt and the region, but it has so much more to offer even if you don't.

First of all the story (based on true and remarkable events) is one that is uniquely Egyptian and speaks to so much of our own personal struggles and insecurities and dreams for a better life. I don't think anyone on this planet understands the real struggles Egyptians go through except Egyptians. But even within Egypt, people don't understand each other's struggles or how these struggles can change what you are made of or what you are willing to do to make thing better for you or your family and friends.

You will know from the trailer that the story is about a man who pretends to be blind to join a soccer team for the blind that will travel outside of Egypt which is his dream. It introduces the hero of the story as a bad bad man right off the bat. But you know a movie is good, when everything within the main bad bad character, you can find inside yourself, and you begin to root for the bad bad man to make it to his goal.

I was so deeply moved by the main character's struggle, his coping strategies , and of course our trademark Egyptian humor skill set, that is such a necessary tool. It carries everyone in this movie and this country past the pain and uphill climb that daily life presents to each of us at varying degrees . As a people, we Egyptians have a stubborn strain of patience, resilience and tenacity that comes across so strongly in the way this story is told.

It grabs you from the very beginning, and it's hard to guess the plot twists which keeps it exciting. To top it off the acting is so on point that you are invested in everyone's dilemma till the very end.

Filming, lighting, music and editing are top notch, and I applaud the actors at how they totally had me sold on every motivation they had to take the actions they had to take in the movie.

But most importantly this movie (especially if you are a thinker) will leave you feeling happy and guilty and maybe even wanting to do better in your own struggle at the very end. It's so damn funny too! Viewers in the cinema broke into applause in the end and I clapped spontaneously because that is what you feel you must do. I'm taking the kids for sure .. and I highly advise that you take your gang and go.

Bravo ! I hope this movie reaches as many human eyes as possible. I want to google the entire story in depth and find out where these people are now.

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.

This movie had it all. Drama and scenes that would make you cry. Dark and light comedy at the perfect chances given. Amazing acting from all the cast especially Mohammed farag. It is good and you won't come out disappointed from the movie. Such a nice plot (based on true events but with dramatic spices) and a great twist that I didn't see coming at all. I liked the music of the movie. The cinematography was ok but the colour grading was amazing in many shots. The dialogues we good too. None felt longer than needed and none felt shorter than needed. It's a really nice refreshing face for Bayoumi Fouad away from his silly comedy. Proves that he is a good actor. The only back side of the movie is the weird romantic interest between "Hassan" and "Inji" which felt rushed, immature, unexplained and not in place. But overall it's a really good movie and the last scenes were the icing on the cake.
