    Outstanding Performance

    The ending is a standout, delivering a powerful emotional payoff. As the wedding day culminates, the film's carefully built tension and character arcs come to a poignant conclusion. The final moments are deeply moving, showcasing a mix of acceptance and resolution that feels both cathartic and bittersweet. It's a brilliant way to tie together the film's themes of regret, love, and reconciliation, leaving the audience with a lasting sense of introspection and emotional depth. The ending enhances the overall experience, turning the story into a reflection on life's unpredictable course. Overall: a great movie!

    One of the modern Masterpieces of the Egyptian Cinema

    The movie has a very solid plot about a guy in the slums who is throwing a fake wedding party to get gifted money to buy a taxi.

    As the plot develops different characters cross their paths with each having his own problems and motivations. The acting is phenomenal and many scenes are master scenes. A special highlight to the lead singer or moderator whose job , besides singing, is to remind attendees to pay their tributes to the host.

    The ending can't get any better. I definitely recommend it if you like realistic movies . If you like this movie , I also recommend Kabareh which is made by the same producer .

    My rating: 10/10

    I love how the main characters developed and I love the casting, I think it's the best casting an Arabic movie since many famous and talented actors in it especially Khalid Al-Sawy he was perfect.

    For me, this is the Arabic film I have ever seen. The sound mixing and sound editing are perfect so to the editing and cinematography combined with a beautiful script. Awesome storytelling also.

    The most beautiful ending I saw in the Arab's cinema.

    I belief that the success of any movie depends on its story, and the filmmaker's ability of converting paper story to influential figures in the viewer through his own vision and without allowing boredom to sneak to the recipient. There are also some elements may be considered minor, but I see it a fundamental and very important in cinema, such as; soundtracks, and casting.

    The Movie collects everything; laughter, tears, and joy. the director was able to transfer all the small and large details in pure and beautiful shots, Basically I cannot find any flaw the film, the end was one of the most beautiful I saw in the Arab cinema.

    Thanks for the film makers
