    Unique

    I liked the deep concept and the directing is impressive Loved it and I definitely recommend it It's a bit dark but realistic the negative reviews were so strange and most of them gave 1 star which I really don't understand how could you dismiss the concept and such a beautiful directing style but I guess it's unique and not every body wants to watch something different then usual.

    Watchable

    The movie was in perspective of a kid and by logic kids will never think this way, the direction was perfect but the effects were disgustingly over. Lastly the story was just good, and a 6 out of 10 is perfectly fair for the movie, thanks.

    Impressive.

    Meshal Al Jaser never fails to impress with his directory skills. The story speaks to every Arab that has a maid in their house, this movie was a true eye opener and shows the sad reality of what maids have been going through from racism, abuse, and inhumane treatment. The young girl , Sadeem Al Shehri, is very talented and has a bright future ahead.

    Phenomenal!

    God Bless the writers for the subject of this film. The simplicity with which you approached a subject steeped in class difference and culture deserves huge accolades. Experimental cinematography. But the story is solid in character. Brilliance is written all over it.
