I was so happy to watch a colored movie as good as the black and white oldies...I liked it because I like movies with simple, real stories...This type of movies require more work than complicated scripts and that's what the director and actors manage to achieve: a beautiful, natural performance delivered by talented artists. It is so good to see that authentic Arabs/Egyptian cinema is not over, the young generation have picked up successfully. I was really surprised though that the movie did not get any festival prize. For me it is the best movie that has been made with new generation actors. Congratulations and thanks to everybody for these beautiful 90 minutes.
I would say for that film one word " WAW". This is one of my best movies ever since long ago. I missed seeing Arabic movies that touch our hearts and taking out our tears like that one. I was crying since i knew he is ill till the end! This movie aroused all my feelings and emotions . I loved the acting. Nelly was good, Hani was amazing , Mena was spectacular, she was amazing in her role. i did not know to whom i feel sympathy, to Mena, nelly or Hani. I felt sympathy for all of them, for Nelly and Hani for being sick and expecting and fighting death everyday, for Mena who have all these feelings of sadness, fear, jealousy, anger , being a wife of a man expected to die and betraying her with a sick woman who expected also to die any time .The idea of accepting this fact and losing her beloved man and makes him happy or fighting for having him and at the same time losing him.This feelings are typically of a woman and a mother who sacrificed her own happiness, settlement and family for the happiness of her husband.Khaled Yousef , thanks for this masterpiece.
