Mawlana (2016) User Reviews

pretty good

[lola-nandez · 7/10 · 1 September 2020]

I have watched better Egyptian movies, no doubt, but this one is not bad at all. The acting is the strong point because I feel at times there are abrupt changes in the mood of the characters or story and is the acting that carries the movie. I also feel like they gave the first part of the story a motive for the tension between the main couple but it got lost somehow. I never understood the wife very much, her character needs serious developing, she kind of just floats around, I can never tell if she is a nice person or not, what is she besides a mother. It's such a shame because it would maybe add the next layer of complexity this film needed to be great. Still, worth a watch to understand the conflicts of such a complicated subject.

Best Arabic movie in the last decade

I consider it one of the best movies all over the history of cinema, specially Arabic cinema. Amro Saad performance is outstanding, the script is designed very well.

Almost Perfect

This is one of best new movie I had ever seen, Omro Saad brilliant acting reflect his superb talent, he reminded me of the late Ahmed Zaki, story line is very true to reality, supporting cast, direction and sound track are perfectly coordinated to produce such master piece. The only negative point is the ending which is somewhat disappointing.
