6 is generous rating

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

Highly recommend

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!

Worst movie have ever seen

I don't know how this movie wins a single award.

This is the worst thing someone can watch in the entile life.

I can consider this as a stupid comedy 😂

Luxembourgish movie? No

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!

Entertaining yet deep dramedy about the state of our world

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.
