Basma

Boring, bad acting and cringey dialogue are just a few of the criticisms of this movie. The movie is suppose to tackle the difficult topic of mental illness but the storyline is a caricature of what someone thinks mental illness looks like. It feels like someone had some money and decided to make a "cool" movie set in Saudi Arabia with no context or insight as to the story they wanted to tell.

A few more points: Montana is a state, not a city. LA did not turn into a desert like Saudi Arabia after an earthquake in the 90s. If you're going to depict the main character as working towards a PHD in Environmental Engineering and she's talking about the topic, don't describe it in a nonsensical way. Have a point. All around disappointing.

The movie fails to captivate with its unengaging story, leaving viewers feeling disconnected. The acting is notably lackluster, with performers often appearing to recite lines devoid of genuine emotion. The dialogue is disappointingly basic, offering little in the way of intrigue or depth. The lead actress performance is particularly underwhelming, contributing to the film's overall flatness. Additionally, the movie is riddled with clichés, making it a tedious watch. Prepare for moments that may elicit cringes as you endure this cinematic misstep.

I would not recommend watching the movie as it's a waste of time.

I understand that this is the first baby steps for the Saudi Film industry. Taking that into account makes us understand the pitfalls of the movie. The storyline is weak. The actors reactions are sometimes are unrealistic to the situations they are trying to depict.

Also, I am always hesitant whenever someone is trying to project their own experiences, interactions, memories into a movie, I am not sure if the story has anything to do with Fatima own life story but that is the sensation I got.

Finally, I was not sure what the main message of the movie was, Fatima did iterate a message at the closure but I was not sure that the movie actually delivered this message.

At the end, I applaude them for the effort and for better future productions.

I have no words to describe this , I don't even call it a movie .. obviously the actors are not professional actors and the story is written poorly .

It seems that the actress Fatma , produced & wrote & directed even acted as the main character just for an opportunity to look pretty with a charisma

The father character is poorly talented , we didn't understand what's his mental illness and what caused it . The funny thing was the mother left him and divorced him because he is a danger and threat to there lives , yet she got back with him for no reason & Without context in the movie

with that said , it's rubbish .

So this is not a real work or any sort of art .. it's a waste of time for viewers.

I loved this movie, the acting and directing is top notch. The movie have a very deep story and a strong message. I don't mind watching this movie a million times!!

Fatima Albanawi movies are always great, in my opinion she is a natural in acting. It's also nice to see rising stars like Eisa Hafiz. They both have bright futures in the show business industry.

Of course all of Fatima's movies are amazing but other movies that I watched recently for the star Fatima and I highly recommend are Barakah Meets Barakah that was one of her first master pieces. As well as the thriller and action movie Route 10.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)
