The first 20 minutes are boring. Intentionally boring. You feel the protagonist’s insomnia. But by the hour mark, you are deep in the haze. A ten-minute sequence where the character argues with his echo is the purest I have seen all year.
I watched this at 11 PM. I stared at the ceiling until 3 AM. That is a successful Nasheeli review. Part 4: The Subculture of Nasheeli Critics You aren’t alone.

At first glance, the phrase feels like a collision of languages and cultures.
