Director Mohamed Diab shoots excellent scenes and has an intelligent perspective on storytelling.
Sexual harrastment is, unfortunatelty, a terrible matter in conservative patriarchial societies by the context of daily lives of women, civil laws and psychological boundaries. Diab not only gifts a good cinematography but also interferes an actual defection of modern society. This movie is one of important parts of survival against sexual harrasment in Egypt. Recently after the movie Egyptian governers had to create new laws punishing the sexual harrasment. Greet to Diab and bravely resisting Egyptian women!!

Those men think they are god, treat women as second rate citizens, on a good day, those men are just sad beings, those men should start treating women with respect and dignity, maybe they will find out it makes them human.
beautyful movie, thank you
This is one of the very few films that talks about the sexual harassment that women suffer in Egypt or the middle east.
The plot of this film is so good, the way it talks about different kinds of women and how they react to such incidents and how the others around them including their husbands, siblings, friends and parents are affected too.
The performances in this film are outstanding from all the cast especially Bushra, the directing is good and this film was one of the main reasons I follow Mohamed Diab.
It's sad to see such a movie not getting so much recognition from the public in Egypt as other movies but it definitely has its own place between critically acclaimed films of all time here in the middle east.

CAIRO 6,7,8:
Mohamed Diab, the director should be congratulated for this gripping presentation of the silent humiliation suffered by Egyptian women and the courage of three women in fighting back against all odds. If Fayza's simple step brings he system to the point of examining its flaws, Seba and Nelly garner the much needed support to provide a platform for the voice of the suffering women. The sound track is excellent and the editing is superb, providing the best support to the clear and commendable cinematography. All the characters have acted so well, it looks as if it is happening in our presence. One of the best films destined to change the perspective of the society in the way it allows such gross injustice to go unpunished. The end is dramatic and deeply touching, adding a feather in the director's cap.
