Voy! Voy! Voy!

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.

Welcome back Egyptian cinema. It's finally a great egyptian movie since a while!

It's very cool , light comedy and miserable.

The film took us through a mixed feelings. Sometimes it gives us laughter then gives us emotions that made me cry in a scence.

The cast is a perfect choice. I don't think there is someone overracting or not suitable for the role.

All of them is stunning , Taha desoky especially is shining in this role.

Each role helps the another and this is how the movie should be.

Also , It's a very great start from director Omar Hilal. Makes us wait for his next works.

I loved it so much and it's highly recommended.

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.

The movie was so enjoyable time passed out and felt like every second of the movie was worth it, like for real it has a lot of actions you can't get bored in such amazing movie.

The cast of the movie did a real great job as usual heavy actors that we used to see and they're perform really well as usual, but beside the acting the story combined with acting performances was a nice combo.

Thanks to Faraj performance I'm really happy with his performance in addition to Bayoumi performance and Mohammed al dasouky as well.

I recommend this movie for +15 people because it contains little sensitive clips.

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.
