Fares Fares does a pretty good job as the main character. The cultural insights and camera work kept the viewer on the edge, Good choice of music as well. Too bad this film wasn't actually shot in Egypt, it still captured the aura of the country in my opinion.
My biggest gripe was a technical issue with audio. Sound effects played way too loud and drowned out conversations when characters spoke. Clearly there was a misalignment, The other personal issue was the Arabic accent of one of the female actresses. She was meant to be from Tunis but clearly wasn't a native Arabic speaker and it showed. Surely they could've found an Arabic speaking actress to play that role.
