i had no idea things were that bad
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
The ugly truth
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.

A feather in the director's cap
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.

A engaging pragmatic story of fight against sexual harassment
A must watch for all pro and against '#metoo' campaigners. Technically the movie lacks depth, nevertheless the content and the intensity of the actors and the characters make it worth a watch.
The movie expresses very slightly the vague, delicate part of human nature which contributes to harassing the oppressed sex.
Scriptwriter Daib deserves praise for handling such an issue in a most emphatic way. All the actors get into the characters effortlessly.
