Complicated But Interesting Stories

Quite interesting if complicated storytelling. What's apparent is that this is a well-scripted film. The stories are intersecting and you are regaled by the outcomes of each storyline.The characters are true to life which make them relatable. These are your characters that populate, well, alleys.The actors are credible. Those portraying the major characters deliver no-nonsense performances like Ali, Abbas, Lena, Hamadi, Bahaa and Aseel.Jordan cinema is producing quality pictures which should be a source of pride for Jordanian filmmakers and those involved in the movie industry there. The viewer looks forward to other films worth watching.

Decent

Glad to see improvement in Jordanian movies industry, I really liked it, and it's accurate in those places in Amman, I have seen many things like that in front of my eyes in poor east Amman neighborhoods, those who say that it doesn't represent the reality are delusional, they are giving it low rating just because it has swear words and some not family friendly scenes, although you can hear way worse swear words in almost every street in Jordan, and the movie was not meant to be family friendly anyway, it's a Netflix movie, it wasn't produced by Jordan Official TV! Want family friendly stuff? Maybe you should reconsider subscribing to Netflix, also the movie does not even have that amount of inappropriate scenes.I see that this film as an improvement in Jordanian cinema and opens the way for the production of better works in the future, the film is very good as a start, although they should have worked on the plot more, but I liked the production, directing and accuracy in the dialect.I liked the character of Hanadi in the movie, Maisa Abd Elhadi is talented, looking forward to see her in more Jordanian movies.Abbas's character really had more potential, especially that it was played by one of the best actors in Jordan imo (Mondher Rayahneh).I don't want to write more because I don't want to spoil the events, but in general it was a good movie and I liked it, and I'm glad to see improvements in Jordanian cinema.

Highly accurate

This movie represents what really happens in some parts of Amman, I was born and raised there and can relate to a lot of things. The director is highly skilled, lots of plot twists and unexpected events will spin your head around. The attention to the smallest detail is what makes it truly unique, I watched it with some of my foreign friends and they were stunned by the amount of carefully thought details that outlines life out there.This movie hits home, I left Jordan 8 years ago and it definitely brought back some good & bad memories, great job by the entire staff. A masterpiece! It deservers an award.
