    "A Trailblazing Fantasy that Redefines Saudi Cinema - HWJN"

    "HWJN" is a groundbreaking fantasy film that has emerged as a pioneering force in Saudi cinema. This cinematic gem not only captivates its audience with an enchanting story but also marks a significant leap in the evolution of the region's film industry.

    From the opening scene, "HWJN" transports viewers into a meticulously crafted world, rich in detail and brimming with imagination. The film masterfully blends elements of traditional Saudi culture with universal fantasy themes, creating a unique and enthralling narrative. It's a bold step forward, showcasing how regional stories can resonate on a global scale while retaining their cultural authenticity.

    The direction of "HWJN" is nothing short of brilliant. Every scene is a testament to the director's vision and attention to detail, rivaling the epic scale and execution of renowned fantasy films like "The Lord of the Rings." The film's pacing is impeccable, seamlessly intertwining character development with a compelling plot.

    Visually, the movie is a feast for the eyes. The special effects are on par with the highest standards of Hollywood, bringing to life the mystical elements of the story in a way that is both believable and awe-inspiring. The cinematography captures the beauty and essence of the landscapes, enhancing the immersive experience.

    Performances by the cast are stellar, bringing depth and authenticity to their characters. Each actor embodies their role with a perfect balance of intensity and subtlety, making the fantastical elements of the story feel grounded and real.

    The soundtrack deserves a special mention for its haunting melodies that beautifully complement the film's atmosphere. It elevates the emotional impact of key scenes, creating a memorable auditory experience.

    In conclusion, "HWJN" is a cinematic triumph that not only sets a new standard for fantasy films in Saudi Arabia but also serves as a beacon of inspiration for future productions in the region. It's a must-watch for anyone who appreciates the art of filmmaking and the power of storytelling. This film is not just entertainment; it's a bold statement about the potential and evolution of Saudi cinema.

    Finally HWJN is LIVE!

    Finally the popular Saudi novel HWJN is live but this time as a movie.

    It was really an amazing movie and it took the saudi movie industry to the next level.

    The direction was perfect, script is very well done and the cast nailed it.

    For sure I'm going to watch it again and again and I highly recommend it.

    Great movie, could be better

    I watched the movie twice so far, and I'm still in love with the story, I'm one of the people who enjoys the book more than the movie.

    Positive:
    • great story
    • good directing


    Neutral:
    • some of the actors did very will, one of the ones I liked is Naif Al Zufairi who did the role of Xinaam, and Baraa who did HWJN, some of the actors are that great, which is understandable as the movie industry is still in its infancy.


    Negative:
    • the music was very western and kind of loud in some areas, I wish if they included some eastern music as the story is very eastern
    • the custom and make up was not great, as it is a low budget movie, and they couldn't make it better.

    Wonderful, and wonderful plot.

    Wonderful, beautiful, and has a balanced and wonderful plot, and I recommend watching it. The events are taken from a novel of the same name and approach the events in an atmosphere of mystery, fantasy and horror.

    It tells the story of a doctor's genie who lives in a house before his friends come to live in it and gets to know their daughter at the same time as he discovers his lineage and abilities.

    This film is considered the first part and I am eagerly awaiting the next part.

    Could be better.

    I was so excited to see this movie ( I didn't read the novel) I booked my ticket in the opening night. In the first 10 minutes I was impressed but Then... the movie started to go down hill from there. The direction was excellent .. the cinematography was Hollywood like.. the camera work .. the atmosphere.. the color and lighting were good.. but then comes the dialogue.. was so bad , the acting was like school show or worse . The audience started to laugh about the acting like it's a comedy movie.

    I am a Saudi and support Saudi productions, and so far so proud about what they delivered but not this one.

    This movie had the opportunity to be one of the best movie in the region and to be recognized world wide but unfortunately very disappointing.
