Review of The Alleys

The Alleys (2021)
9/10
A fun rollercoaster ride..
22 November 2022
Engaging, atmospheric, enjoyable movie. A bit cringe as every lie, sin or intrigue gives rise to worse consequences.... Just enough over the top to bring out the humor and a bit of distance to mitigate some of the violence... But in the end I cared about the characters and thought it was wonderfully acted and directed with an ensemble cast.

Hanadi (Maisa Abd Elhadi) who plays the gangster's right hand woman rises to the occasion and is very powerful and riveting.

Would love to see her do more.

The multiple interwoven storylines were balanced artfully by director Bassel Ghandour.

I'm gonna go watch his Theeb, soon.
