Police torture and repression lead to a huge demonstration in Tahrir square.

The pace is deliberate, so that the evil of the Mubarak regime's security apparatus can exude fully.

Admirable, but nothing you couldn't get from scouring a news website for a few hours.

The entire work feels overwhelmingly personal. It feels as if it genuinely matters.

3/5

It's an intimately focused, calmly composed drama, albeit one that can't help seeming a little outdated given the ongoing upheavals in Egypt.

For those who lived through the period of the revolution the film does not offer anything new, just a repeat of the events and models of the characters is very known to everyone on the same image that appeared in the movie ...very poor film

Ibrahim el Batout just keeps proving that he's only good at entrenching stereotypes. Watching this was a painful experience. I have a bone to pick with several of my friends who took part in this project.
