    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!

    Great hilarious movie

    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.

    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!

    The story is new, different and light but not epic

    The story is new and different, but not epic It didn't have a very bad acting performance, I mean, all of them were good, but the best of them was Karim Qasim, who was very suitable for the character and the Belgian Eric Kabongo It's a light, beautiful, special film and a very enjoyable journey.
