Asef ala el-Izag

I watched this movie in cinema, and at least twice more after, today this had to be the fourth or something. I played it coz I had my girl with me and I wanted to show her something beautiful from our generation. It still stands the test of time. I rated it 9 in 08 and I think it still deserves it for one simple reason: attention to details.

Especially now in 2024 when +90% of Egyptian cinema consists of half cooked plots, mediocre acting and impulsive mostly incoherent screenplay, this movie stands out for respecting its audience enough to tell a simple touching story while going way and above in crafting the plot line, the little details, the side characters and of course the acting. I LOVED Dalal AbdelAziz & Mahmoud Hemeida here, Helmy also did some of his top performances ever in my opinion

Thank you Khaled Marei & Ayman Bahgat, I felt your respect for my time, I felt your love for your craft, you created something genuine, authentic and beautiful that I was able to enjoy again and again and now with my kid with me. Thank you.
