The New York Times Stephen Holden
Exudes a randy, robust charm as it unapologetically thumbs its nose at respectability and everything the word implies.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
It's rare for an Egyptian movie to look so closely and unflinchingly at class conflict and other forms of social disarray, but lively acting keeps the story engaging even when it wanders and meanders.
Read Full Review >New York Post Jonathan Foreman
The screenplay by Zekri (based on Jorge Amado novel) is crude stuff, and director Ossama Fawzi gets such cartoonish performances from his cast, it's hard to care about the characters.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Michael Atkinson
Fawzi shoots the proceedings in clumsy, gotch-eyed spurts, and the level of incoherence is impressively high.

Absolutely fantastic stuff. Caroline Khalil was amazing.
Sherif F. gave it a 10:
I went to the movie 4 times, 3 of 'em I found that am the only 1 in the Cinema, I'm dying to have a copy, no matter how much will it cost. I went in the 1st place to listen to Fathi Salama's music, to find out that am wtching one of the few modern Egyptian movies.
