            i hate this movie

            first of all sorry for my English .....I always believe that going to watch a good movie(whatever the kind of the movie) leaves at the end you a nice feeling that there is still a space in this world for beauty and justice.

            and unfortunately Asama made ​​me feel the opposite , not as a sad story but as how has been told.... ...so if you want watch a very sad story told in obnoxious and superficial way , I recommend you watch this movie .. and I think the overrating 7.7 stars is a part of the antipathy of our insane realty,

            PS. i am not a critic,, i am just a person who love the cinema so much

            Beautiful, poignant story about a woman versus a culture

            This film is just as uplifting as it is tragic. Amr Salama brings up HIV/AIDS in a society that typically shunned or turned a blind eye to the issue. A woman contracting HIV, in a conservative community that associates the disease with either a sexually transmitted infection from an extra marital affair or drug use injection, has to deal with not only what the disease is doing to her body, but also with the way people will punish her if they found out she has it. This poignant drama promises an honest perspective into the Egyptian culture and the average Egyptian's perspective on such delicate and taboo issues.

            Although it may be a long road ahead, Salama definitely helped raise awareness and maybe even recede the social stigma associated with HIV/AIDS in some way. A beautiful performance by Hend Sabry was able to evoke empathy and compassion towards people with the disease in a ruthless community that can't help but look down on them. This is a must-see, and if you think it might be too depressing for your taste, don't worry. Maged ElKedwany's equally brilliant performance will either downright crack you up or at least put a smile on your face a few times throughout the movie. Have fun!

            Get enough tissues!

            I haven't cried in my whole life like I have cried while watching this film while mostly it was sad tears some of it was happy tears, it's a must-watch!!!

            She's HIV Positive ,She's living with it ,She wants others to accept her that she stills alive ..

            Always high expectations makes it harder to reach but before going to the movies theater to watch this movie I guaranty that You will get a feeling during and after the end ,that feeling when You see a good movie and You want it never ends and after it that feeling that there is a hope ,It's not just a story of someone suffer from a disease accepting and living with it alone but It's about someone suffer from the negativity of the society and the way the people deals .. all Actors specially Hend Sabry and Maged El Kedwani did a great job ,the directing was so professionally I'm really Proud of Him and I'll wait for he's next movie ..

            Well done, Amr.

            Painful as the severity of this disease, a wonderful plot and a perfect performance from the movie's heroes. The director's cinematography choices were annoying at the beginning of the film, but the story and narration of events justified them. The most studied flashback in Egyptian cinema. Hind is a genius and Maged El Kedwany is the jewel in the crown. It seems that the director studied the aids more than the specialists, and presented a masterpiece that is still relevant despite the passage of time. May God have mercy on the real character of the original story and accept him into eternal paradise.
