4/5
A remarkably kinetic portrait of a city perpetually stuck in traffic. Director Sherief Elkatsha frames its overcrowded streets in creative and unexpected ways, looking for the spirit of Cairo in the midst of much broader political change. Go to Full Review Mike Russell Oregonian 02/04/2014

02/26/2015 I loved this movie - it reminded me a lot of what I experienced in Nairobi! See more 02/17/2014 Through talking about the chaos, difficulty, and humor of traffic and transportation in Cairo director Sherief Elkatsha opens up insights into life in Egypt and the changes revolution has (and hasn't) brought. A tremendously entertaining movie shot through with veins of meaning; both timely and universal. Provides ample opportunities for American audiences to gasp in dismay and disbelief at the otherness of Egyptians who don't behave as we do. See more Read all reviews
