A disenchanted Egyptian populace takes to the streets. Those arrested are bunged into the back of a police van. There, they begin to discuss their politics, frustration and hopes. Fissures soon appear and the atmosphere grows increasingly tense. Mohamed Diab's economic use of space makes for a powerful and claustrophobic thriller. ★★★★ "A minor masterpiece of claustrophobia and expertly managed tension" - Jimi Famurewa, Empire ★★★★ "The film’s sheer bravura is breathtaking" - Trevor Johnston, Time Out ★★★★ "Stunning thriller" - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
