Meydiana R Touching and Great Ending. Action packed One of the best Drama movies I've ever seen, the best special effects, and the emotional soundtrack that tears the viewer, thank you for all the factors that made this film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/30/22 Full Review Audience Member A blurb I read stated this is an important movie. Perhaps because it was made by an Egyptian direct from an Arab perspective. However it is almost unbelievably bad. Some of the men who are supposed to be power players are old and sweaty and although most wear indescribably ratty and ugly wigs the one who desperately needs to does not. The supposedly ‘beautiful Virginia' is not. I am not talking about actors who do not reach some unrealistic standard of attractiveness. I am talking drastically unattractive people. The acting is just as bad. The make up looks as though it has been applied with a spatula and the costumes are tacky. They look homemade. This is not good. Maybe important historically but artistically it is a bomb and a dud at that. As an added bonus it is over three hours long. I forgot to mention that it makes no attempt at historical accuracy. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A pure classic of it's time and every actor did justice to it's role. A must watch.
