A Bold Glimpse into Art and Extremism

Based on real events, the story follows an incident in Riyadh where a play was attacked by extremists, reflecting the challenges faced by the arts in a conservative society.The film earns a solid 7/10 for its ambitious storytelling and cultural relevance. The acting is commendable, with performances that draw the viewer into the tense atmosphere. Ali Kalthami's direction effectively balances drama and poignancy, making the subject matter relatable to audiences both familiar and unfamiliar with Saudi cultural struggles.

Good

The style of narration in this movie was normal , but sometimes it was bad, there is an acceleration in events, especially in the end, sometimes it includes pictures and narrators, above all, there was an excellent representation ,wonderful directing by Ali Al-Kalthami and good production
