Documentary: Architect Abdelwahed El-Wakil Audience Reviews

KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
