I have just seen it today and I already know that I'll have to see it at least one more time.
Assal Eswed hits you with a awfully bad start that shows a really naive Egyptian-American returning to Egypt. Then it starts showing a lot of contradiction that could be spotted easily in any Egyptian's daily life that are now taken for granted. Then the movie tries to project the changes we've witnessed in the past 20 years on the emotions of that man who had a certain image of an Egypt facing reality.
It's an emotional roller coaster that lets you experience a lot of feelings that we have for Egypt, Egyptians and ourselves. Supported with a sensational Omar Khairat soundtrack that helps hear what really Egypt sounds like while the movie is showing what Egypt is now like.
I recommend it and try to tolerate the first half an hour or so..
