The World
(2004)
|
Yasmin Shehab
|
This isn't a tragedy, this is life as it is, with all its beauty and grimness intact.

It's Only the End of the World
(2016)
|
Yasmin Shehab
|
Blood is supposedly thicker than water, but blood doesn't sustain a conversation, and neither blood nor love can fill the chasm that results from something as low-key as a lack of connection.

Julieta
(2016)
|
Yasmin Shehab
|
Julieta strikes at a part of womanhood that's universal in scope, but definitely carries more weight in societies such as ours where gender roles are alive and well.

Elle
(2016)
|
Yasmin Shehab
|
There's not much admirable about her callousness, but for a woman and especially for a mother, her sense of entitlement borders on transgressive.

A Present from the Past: 20 September
(2016)
|
Yasmin Shehab
|
A Present From the Past is less a narrative, and more an attack on that vulnerable spot where relationships build up, each leaving a mark that fades with time but never quite disappears

Sira: Wenn der Halbmond spricht (SIRA: Songs of the Crescent Moon)
(2011)
|
Myriam Ghattas
|
The views discussed in it may not be to everyone's liking, yet the fact remains that Abdel Mohsen and Gysi have shared with audiences an exquisitely soulful story about a unique and dying tradition.

Aleksandrinke
(2011)
|
Myriam Ghattas
|
Pevec's documentary sheds light on a perhaps somewhat forgotten international current that affected an entire region in Slovenia as well as the inhabitants of the Egyptian northern coastal city.

Videogramme einer Revolution (Videogram of a Revolution)
(1992)
|
Myriam Ghattas
|
The documentary certainly illustrates an important phenomenon: any events, be they minor or major in nature, can be reconstructed with photographic and videographic evidence even if the media is not present at hand to capture them.

(2010)
|

The result of this gamble is a visceral, raw film free of any pretense.

Manual of Love 3
(2011)
|
Myriam Ghattas
|
A romantic comedy that entertains but fails to leave a lasting impression.

Declaration of War
(2011)
|
Myriam Ghattas
|
Donzelli and Elkam infuse their script with a fair share of humor while dealing with a morbid subject without ever becoming irreverent or exploitative.

(2011)
|

The ensemble cast is natural, lively and truthful. The balance of personal stories and criminal cases is perfect.

Made in Dagenham
(2010)
|
Myriam Ghattas
|
Made in Dagenham is exuberant, touching, fashionable, invigorating and simply absolutely delightful to watch.

Submarine
(2010)
|
Myriam Ghattas
|
Possibly, the greatest accomplishment of the film is the revelation of an incredible talent in the young Craig Roberts.

Even the Rain
(2010)
|
Myriam Ghattas
|
It is a movie that, at the very least, incites the spectator to self-reflect.

Kaf Alqamar
(2011)
|
Myriam Ghattas

The film reads like a soap opera and the acting pattern adopted perpetrates that impression.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows offers the kind of action-packed Hollywood spectacle that will keep its audience riveted to the edge of their seats.

Chronicle
(2012)
|
Myriam Ghattas
|
Trank's debut feature treats the audience to a deluge of teen angst, power trips, comradeship and rivalry yielding an insightful look into the unstable machine driving humans' wills and desires.

The Grey
(2012)
|
Myriam Ghattas
|
While The Grey exhibits a highly commendable mastery of storytelling and an innate balance of suspense and introspective reflection, the film has failings that can be hard to overlook.

The Rum Diary
(2011)
|
Myriam Ghattas
|
Robinson's film is pleasurable on many different levels, not least of which are the ingenious numerous instances of blunt or delirious dialogue exchanges littering the script and delivered in a decidedly taunting matter-of-fact fashion.
