6 Days

I don't remember what the last movie I watched in English or Arabic was without using my phone during it. But I watched this movie without a single moment of boredom, one of the best romantic movies I have ever seen in my life.

The best thing about this movie is its simplicity. It feels like us. It doesn't include overly emotional scenes; it just reflects our everyday lives and our stories.

And the worst thing about this movie is that I didn't have a gf to watch it with. :"""D

Seriously, I feel like I need to share this experience with someone, how simple and smooth the film is, how you never feel bored, and how it truly reflects reality.

Words can't describe the beauty of this film - it truly deserves a 100%. This is the first time I've ever been this impressed by an Arabic movie. The story feels incredibly real and relatable, and every song featured in the film touches the heart.

Every detail in the film has meaning and is beautifully done - the glances, the music, the dialogues, and the words. Even though not everyone experiences the same kind of ending in real life, the film's message is powerful and deeply meaningful.

Since I live in Europe, I couldn't watch it in theaters, but I highly recommend anyone living in an Arab country to see it in cinemas if they can.

Karim Shaaban's 6 Days is a beautifully crafted emotional journey that lingers long after the credits roll. The film's premise-two lovers meeting on the same day across six years-could have felt repetitive, but Shaaban's direction turns it into a poetic meditation on love, change, and the passage of time. His ability to capture the subtleties of human connection through intimate framing and nostalgic hues is remarkable, making every encounter between Youssef and Alia feel raw and real.

Ahmad Malek delivers one of his finest performances, portraying Youssef's evolution with incredible depth. His transition from a hopeful romantic to a man wrestling with memories and missed chances is heartbreakingly authentic. Aya Samaha is equally mesmerizing, balancing Alia's resilience with an underlying vulnerability that makes her character feel incredibly real. Their chemistry is undeniable, filling the screen with moments of warmth, tension, and unspoken longing.

What makes 6 Days truly special is its ability to evoke nostalgia-not just for lost love, but for the versions of ourselves we leave behind. Shaaban directs with a delicate yet assured hand, using silence as powerfully as dialogue, and every shot feels intentional. The film doesn't just tell a story; it makes you feel it.

A must-watch for anyone who has ever wondered about the road not taken.

No enough words can explain how I felt during watching this movie.

I love literally EVERYTHING in this movie, from the songs picks to the minimalistic things throughout the years to the direction.

Karim Shabaan's direction made me feel like I AM Yousef (Ahmed Malek), I felt that if it's everything that has happened to him has happened to me too.

I love how the cast managed to make everything seem realistic and not just boring additions in the script, I relate so much to it that i couldn't stop tearing at some point.

I also love how Ahmed & Ayah managed to act the characters pretty well that, as I mentioned, felt like i'm the main character in it.

To all the cast, thank you for this masterpiece. Please, we need more of these.
