Cairo Time
Hats off to the people behind Cairo Time for producing that rare kind of film, a film for adults. With box office receipts more and more leaning towards youth demographics, it’s not often you see a film made by and for the older segment of an ever shrinking market.

This isn’t a movie for those with attention-deficit disorder as it tells its tale in a very slow and sultry way. It is more longing looks and casual comfort that melodrama and contrivances. It’s also a very revealing look at one of the world’s most distinctive cities and that location becomes the film’s lead player.
This is one film that the folks should leave the young ones at home for as the pace and content will not keep them engaged. It stands out as a rare treat for those who are comfortable with the pace of real life and don’t need the artificial urgency that plagues most films of this genre.
