HIV

This movie helped me see HIV in a whole different light, I'm a 29 year old mom from South Africa so if anyone says this movie isn't for everyone, they're wrong because this movie speaks to everyone.

Trust me... This movie is a story of heroes, and I'll never forget it.

I don't want to ruin the plot for everyone so I wanted to keep it short however IMDb does not allow me to review a movie with less than 10 lines.

The story of Yousef is a journey of the soul. SOmetimes we do not think of how easy it is to get the virus. It isn't only through sexual intercourse. It could be through needles, saliva, etc.. Most of these encounters can happen by accident and not in the way we all stereotype HIV patients.

In closing, a well done short movie that sheds light on a taboo issues in the middle east and eastern cultures as a whole.

Absolutely stunning movie, the acting is great, music tracks are excellent and the events are coming up very nicely.

For the first time, an Arabic movie that makes you enjoy every single second... This movie is perfectly describing the suffering of young Arabs affected accidentally by the HIV. Watching this movie will change your whole perception of the HIV and makes you think that it can happen to anyone if the right preventions are not taken seriously. The movie illustrates different cases of people rejected by their families, friends and society while they have to deal with their own suffering and in need of support from others around them.

Congrats icflix on this production and hope to see more content in the future.

An eye-opener..

Its great to see a movie about a rising issue and how society views the topic. Movies like this help educate the youth, especially in the Arab region where it can not be spoken about so openly.

These new actors really did a great job and hope to see more of their work!

HIV is definitely worth watching because of its simplistic yet qualitative use of emotions.

More movies like this should be done. HIV shows that entertainment can come in any form, even by educating its viewers (if they get the message, which is very evident).

This movie was seriously a pleasant surprise. I made my icflix account a few months ago and I mostly use it to watch Hollywood as my Arabic isn't perfect. When I saw they had created an original production, I decided to check it out and luckily it came with English subtitles so I could make sure I understood everything.

The movie tackles an issue that many western films have done before, but from a completely new perspective. People with HIV still face stereotyping and rejection in every part of the world, but this is particularly true in the Middle East. Most people are just not educated on the subject and don't want to talk about it as they feel its taboo.

I watched "The Normal Heart" a few months ago after it won an Emmy and I have to say it is interesting to compare the way the story is told in America in the 80's as compared to present-day Egypt.

The main character, Youssef is easy to relate to and shows how much the HIV diagnosis disrupts the personal life of anyone infected. The other characters also help a lot in getting alternative perspectives and show that there are many ways to get HIV, sometimes through no fault of your own, and sometimes through very careless mistakes.

All in all the movie is well worth the watch and I think it would be interesting for anyone to see, even for those outside the Middle East. Hopefully it also changes the perception of some people in the region for the better!

I watched this movie at least 3 times and I loved it, absolutely stunning. The acting is great, young actors with a lot of talent and great potential. It's an Arabic independent movie that talks about HIV in Egypt and the Arab world as a whole. This movie shows the suffering of a young man as he discovers he has HIV and has to deal with the consequences. I loved how the movie reflects reality and shows how HIV is perceived in the Arab world. It's a short movie but shows everything you need to know while keeping you captivated the whole time. It's the first production of icflix in Egypt and shows a lot of potential. A must watch!
