Filmmaker Amjad Al-Rasheed debut movie perfectly captures the reality of gender inequality, inheritance rights and gender relations in the middle east culture with strong direction, good dialogue, realism style and a strong performance from Mouna Hawa. Al-Rasheed direction and approach on the subject matter felt genuine on the issues of what women have to face and the challenges they have to endured without feeling cheesy or sloppy. Including the uses of dialogue, conversation, and pacing felt tense, realistic, and emotional at times.
The performances are pretty good especially Hawa and the rest of the cast members. The characters are interesting and many of the emotional core moments and themes are powerful and handled very well. The camerawork is good tho some of the camerawork feels too bland at times and there are some slow moments.
But overall, it is really good movie. I don't see much films from Jordan and glad to check more out.
