Mahmoud is ostracized from Egyptian society after he attacks protestors. His life is changed when he meets Reem and they help each other see their very different worlds.

Amy Taubin

Sight & Sound

The female protagonist, an economically privileged young woman turned workers'-rights organiser and something of an animal activist, makes the film both satisfying and uncommon.

Independent (UK)

A hyperbolic tone, some dire over-acting and much verbose political debate made this a leaden trudge, resembling a rendezvous between Ken Loach and Barbara Cartland on the banks of the Nile.

HitFix

With the level of its visual storytelling and rhetorical content hovering perilously around the daytime-TV level, Cannes selectors clearly had their diplomat hats on when admitting this one into Competition.

The film requires a lot of perseverance to sit through and with very little pay off at the end

Rated: 1.5/5

One of the weakest films in 2012 Cannes Fest, this Egyptian political melodrama about the 2011 uprise is misconceived and poorly executed.

Rated: C

A heavy-handed, visually insipid take on the Arab Spring and its impact on various segments of Egyptian society.

A poorly made C-movies for tourists who heed a crash course about the Egyptian revolution, and have no time too look it up in youtube.
