Sawah

A personal destiny gets trapped in a web of stereotypes and geopolitical innuendos. Powerful and nuanced storytelling with a great performance by the lead actor Karim Kassem.

The movie lacks a lot of things, among them the acting

I am a Luxemburger, someone pointed this movie out to me. What a disappointment. Reminds me of 2.grade french comedies! The raciest and immigration problems are just lightly touched. Egyptian dictatorship, oh yeah lightly mentioned! The fact they speak more than 3 different languages deserves 5 wins! Woah. Very disappointing unless you like french comedies. The music score sucks! Unless you like electronic blib blap!

I think where Sawah excels is its simplicity. The storyline is straight forward, allowing for other elements to be the stars of the film. The actors all shine in their respective roles. The cinematography showcases the various locations beautifully. Being a film partially about music, the sound design is also well executed. This is all brought together with expert direction. I highly recommend!

Lovely movie with amazing acting. Very versatile and funny. The story is well written by an experienced writer! Great attention to detail. The main actor has a nice personality and his father is acting harsh yet caring. The scenes were filmed in many different locations and it is such an addictive movie. I loved it! The music in the different scenes is exciting and makes your heart race to want to find out what will happen next. Overall, it seems like a high quality movie with lots of great scenes. I hope there will be follow up movies by the same director, can't wait to see his next movies in cinema and on Netflix.
