Not the Netflix movie you expect
Overall it was a nice movie with great cinematography and performances. The aesthetic was also successful it sets you in the mood from the very start of the film.
However, I felt that the plot only scratched the surface and didn't get too deep. This made some scenes, especially the last with the building, to not really make sense.
I believe that, if each characters' manifestos were more thought, or at least shown more it might have helped.
But still a very good and thought provoking film with many great scenes in terms of editing and direction (especially those long one-shots)!
P. S I also think that the very final scene with the extremists shouldn't have been included. It would have been way better if we didn't know who did it, as it adds nothing to the story. - semihmbo - 10 April 2023
Intense movie
The film begins very intensely and you begin to sympathize from the very first second. Sometimes I asked myself how they portrayed all of this perfectly. Totally beyond words, the storyline and scenes are worthy of applause!
Also love that they showed afterwards how it went behind the scenes. This just shows how much work and effort went behind this film.
They all apparently weren't stunts either which made it even more exciting for a while. I made the storyline seem similar to the films of Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, don't ask me why but I got this feeling. Should this director release another similar film like this I will definitely watch it!
