    Acting is 7/10, Story 2/10

    Again the Egyptian film industry is based on ignorance and is going in one direction only (regime's Agenda). This movie is superficial and distorting all the way from the beginning to the end.

    Interesting movie

    The themes and acting are very good. The characters are a bit stereotypical

    Bad acting from the younger actors

    The ideas were strong and to the point, but the presentation was not as strong, but it was acceptable. The only thing that was unacceptable was Ahmed Malik's acting and Jamila's frozen reactions. Bad acting, good writing, classic idea but also good.

    I have to say I loved putting sherin reda as a Christian and gamila awad as a follower so not all people will deal well with independence so she had to learn the hard way her lesson that freedom of thinking and speech and conducting your life isn't a burden, it's right and no good comes from giving it up

    I hope to see more like this in Egypt anyway.

    A great movie in terms of everything, hope to see more movies like that in Egypt.

    Superb acting and politically charged and mediocre story

    The leading actor did not disappoint me at all. However, they executed a highly charged and propaganda driven scenario.
