Funny.. but very poorly directed..
Laughable and engaging. Worth the watch.
We were impressed by the laughable and thoughtful content that was layered through Ramy's standup.
His slow paced style with long pauses reflected his capacity as a comedian to hold an audience, and he managed to throw in some spontaneous comedy based on audience responses which was high calibre. He also has a mesmerising stare which worked well for cinematic effect.
He leveraged his ethnicity as a central theme in the comedy in a thoughtful way. He occasionally made you think about society through the comedy rather than just throw jokes for jokes sake.
7/10 mostly because he was often funny, but didn't quite hit that hilarious level I would reserve for a higher rating.
Constant spotlight is difficult to watch
I thought it was really funny. I liked his series and this special is on brand. He manages to be heartfelt and funny at the same time. The problem is that 70 percent of the shots have a spotlight shinning behind him. It was unnecessary and honestly very distracting. It strained my eyes so I actually closed my eyes for parts to let my eyes rest while I listened to his comedy. Which is worth the distraction from the constant spotlight. I just would have preferred regular camera shots without the lighting behind it. Ramy's humor is smart and thoughtful. I would recommend to others but would worry the light will bother them too.
