Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal The pace is deliberate, so that the evil of the Mubarak regime's security apparatus can exude fully. May 15, 2014 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian A fascinating film. Rated: 4/5 Aug 22, 2013 Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies Admirable, but nothing you couldn't get from scouring a news website for a few hours. Rated: 2/5 Aug 22, 2013 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine The entire work feels overwhelmingly personal. It feels as if it genuinely matters. Rated: 9/10 Jun 30, 2019 Full Review Tom Dawson Total Film It's an intimately focused, calmly composed drama, albeit one that can't help seeming a little outdated given the ongoing upheavals in Egypt. Rated: 3/5 Aug 28, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member a quick but deep overview of the Egyptian revolution.. great camera work, fine directing and cinematography from elbatout.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
