    An Egyptian cinematic masterpiece

    I can nominate this work for an Oscar with my eyes closed. Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, in my opinion, plays the role of a lifetime because this film is difficult to criticize from a technical cinematic point of view, and what remains in the memory and imagination of the viewer is the charming music of the film by Rajeh Daoud, I give this film 9 out of ten deserves, the director touched my soul through this work.

    Timeless Piece, Will make you Cry & Laugh at the same time

    Very few movies can do that to the audience, makes you want to Cry and laugh at the same time, If you speak the Language (Arabic) you are lucky to catch the amazing simplicity yet genius dialogue, if not, even with no subtitles foreign audiences got totally immersed in the plot.

    The Blind Sheikh "Hosny" (played by "Mahmoud Abdel Aziz" at his best here) is in total denial throughout the movie of his handicap.

    He even ends up riding a motor bike and causing a mess, physical to him and emotional to the audience. A great Timeless movie, Its a Must see.

    Breathless Movie

    Maybe both pleased luck and watched cinematic masterpiece that has felt this .. This total immersion in the world your very enamored vocabulary .. those flavored Egyptian , which can not miss it eye or ear .. so enamored rest never charismatic Sheikh (Hosni) and that remain in your mind too much after the end of the movie .. those visual pleasure and mental and mental , which acquires exclusive you completely throughout watching the movie and perhaps lead you to reconsider a lot of things I thought she constants of life .. n short, the movie is not available to the Egyptian ( old or new ) All of these factors make it successful , which are closer to the completion .. Even movies ( David ) did subsequent approaching lofty level for this movie ..

    This film was not made ​​for watching once .. no .. Whenever offering your life where you will see new horizons never seen before ..

    A Classic

    Kit Kat is one of the few films in contemporary Egypt that sheds light on the lives of people living in the slums and what are their dreams and problems. Sheikh Hosny who was portrayed by Mahmoud Abdel Aziz in one of his best roles ever, is a blind man who doesn't pay attention to his disability and enjoys life in many ways including riding a motorcycle on his own! His son Youssef is an unemployed university graduate who wishes to go to Europe to earn his living and he is in a relationship with a divorced woman. This film can make laugh and cry and I personally give it 10 stars for its great screenplay and cast of actors.
