Amazing and almost a true story. Must see. Touch your deepest sensors.

Egyptian MAIDENS:

Explores the hidden side of life in Egyptian society, in an effort to address one of the most painful issues affecting young women. The first half of the film flows with enough charm and much ease, with the fast moving story line but becomes heavy in the later half, with too many complicated distractions and a sudden and abrupt ending without a clue. The subtitles are painful to read as they get submerged into the white background leaving the viewer to guess most of the dialogues. Overall it is a good presentation but dragging at the end with too many issues in one go and a disappointing finish.

A Must seen movie, phenomenal script and director.outstanding and immortal performance for Seba and Zeina. It should be one of the landmarks in Cinema worldwide. Mohamed Amin, you are the best director in Egypt in last 30 years despite the relatively low number of movies.

In a good way, this film reminds me of the "A Thousand and One nights Story" for its ability to invent so many dramatic events to fill in a feature length plot. The filmmakers are so greedy when trying to put too much issues in such a short length, which give the story no space to develop itself. Plus, meaningless n showing off camera work make the film even worst. Basically, this looks more like a shortened light-hearted TV drama than a wide-screen movie. The main reason for me to stay till the end of the film is to see how big will such ridicule can be developed up to. Actually, this film might be very helpful for film student to watch and spot out the false that can be easily committed by early filmmaker.
