Great insight in modern Egypt
23 April 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Egypt has the same problems as in any other country. The difference with this film is that these problems are laid out bare.This may be unique in Egyptian cinema.

Although the film is very good, the director tried too hard to include so much! Every subplot in this movie could have been turned into a film.

The only negative thing is the portrayal of the homosexual. Though shown to be kind and sensitive (unlike most characters in the film), it is implied that he had been forced into being gay. Why can't we just expect that some people are just naturally gay!
