What a chance for Jordanian cinema indudtry to build on!

[ibdahmahmoud · 9/10 · 26 September 2023]

I just loved this movie!

It's really booming!!

Discussed cases that I'm dealing with daily.

Big salute to Zaid, if there is a chance for the industry to grow in our country this most be the reference.

It should be a starting point and he must never stop.

Saba Mubarak (as it was expected) did an amazing performance, a role that you'll never be able to imagine another actress play after you see the film.

Not to talk about Farah Bseiso preforming and explosion at the end, AMAZING.. AMAZING.. AMAZING!

I can never see her again in a typical arab series.

All actors were convening and amazing, gave me a hope about arabic cinema again.

And the actor who played Saba's character husband, he's amazing, I saw him in comedy shows before.

But his preforming touched me here and took me to old memories and made me tensed.

Loved the curses 😂 it's really funny.

Loved it, loved all about it.

Relatable premises

[kawtharffathalla · 7/10 · 24 May 2023]

"What will people say.." A premise that makes this movie very relatable in the Arab region. In another reality, a concept of living that either makes you or breaks you and "Daughter of Abdulrahman" doesn't fear to show it all.

This movie takes you through a journey of its own dynamics, with heartfelt relatable stories, a rollercoaster of touching emotional buildups, in tackling important societal taboos of the traditional and patriarchal systems/roles, and portraying sisterhood through complex characters development each reflecting their own twisted identity into the dynamic with incredible performances from a strong cast.

Loved how the cinematography complemented the natural narrative of the story and was immersive to let you feel through the scenes. Shot by one of my all-time favorite Arab cinematographers Ahmad Jalboush, once again he delivered visuals beautifully.

Best film with best writer and director

The writer and director Zaid Abu Hamdan is very intelligent and one of a kind person.

The film couldn't be better in its sinario and cast. The story is very touching. The cast are professional.

A commercial movie that tries to be deep

[ayareda · 6/10 · 7 January 2022]

I cannot say that I dislike this movie, I actually was very engaged while watching it in its world premiere. The audience loved it to the point that they were clapping throughout the movie as if it was a play.

My main comment on this that it was a bit of a stereotypical movie when it comes to shaping the personas of the 4 sisters, especially Saba Mubarak and the Curly head girl. The movie could have been much better without those clichés of the religious woman who secretly smokes but judges everyone else and the westernized girl who is vegetarian and practices yoga. COME ON, you can do better in developing their characters. The movie tries hard to break the taboos and it is a counted try, but you cannot do that while forcing stereotypes and then breaking them. However, it has the elements of success for many commercial movies and that's why I believe it received the Audience Award in CIFF.
