All My Life

This is not a "good" film and is definitely not a "feel-good" film either. The acting is often below average (sometimes to hilarious effects) and it is clear that it was made on a minute budget. It is however a incredibly brave and courageous film. The subject matter and its geographical/social context make it so. The poor quality of the production becomes itself a clear indication of the oppression and the violence experienced by some of the characters. It is clear that the film attempts to cover too many issues, however it is difficult to deny that in the mixture of soap and drama sprinkled with a bit of sex, all the issues are fascinating and demands keen attention.

The film's plot revolves around the life of Rami, a 26-year-old gay man, his life in Cairo, and his experiences with his friends and neighbors. All My life has been regarded as the most explicit Arabian Gay Movie and has been banned in All Arabian Countries. Gay Themed Movies Are Banned In Every Arabian Country.In Arabian countries,gay Arabs secretly meet in Steam and Sauna Baths.Thanks To Internet Social Sites,gays now can make numerous friends across the internet.

In All my life,you can see male frontal nudity,and Arabian men making love to other men. Gays will witness the agony and guilt Arab gays face. You will feel with gays even if you are straight after watching this interesting movie.

By the way the movie trailer was previously banned on youtube,but allowed on my space.

This movie is a masterpiece and a must see NC-17 movie for both gays and straight men.

The beauty of this film is not in the quality of acting or production, but rather the plot and issues it raises. Having seen many independent gay-themed films this is the first to my knowledge that brings in an unabashed and unashamed manner gay issues facing the Middleeast (in particular Cairo, Egypt) neatly packaged in a simple yet complex and entertaining plot spoken in the country's native Arabic tongue. The movie also is not only centered around the protagonist, Rami. Rather it introduces several other characters that revolve around him and play an equally central role with each character bringing to light mainly tribulations but also some joys of gay life in Cairo. Not too long into the film and it becomes pretty clear that that this is an amateur production probably done on less than a shoe string budget which is a testament to the courage of the producer and actors in completing this and providing a thoroughly entertaining and expressive film.

All in all. . . two thumbs up!

Although it is a low budget and first -time actors movie but it presents a topic never discussed in the Middle East openly and with courage as this movie did. For the first time, we see an Egyptian movie, with Arab actors that addressed homosexuality and human rights issues in the Arab World. it shows how difficult it is socially, religiously and even security wise to be a gay person in an Arab country. we hope to see more movies, with better quality of course, in the future that would shed more light on such topics. But for Toul Omry, it is the first serious attempt to uncover taboos in a region plagued with extremism. brave work, but needs more professional guidance int he future.

All my life treats the subject of Egyptian gay men who have been oppressed and suppressed from expressing their attraction to other men. You will feel with the suffering of gay tormented Egyptian men who feel regret after having affairs with other men. All my life is a true movie from the great and daring Egyptian director who shows some scenes of full frontal male nudity and really managed to provide a fantastic gay movie aimed at the gay adult audience. 10 out of 10.
