    Instead of renting as would have been wiser, I bought this on a whim.

    I am glad that I did.

    A slow burn as most Irish films are, it opened tragic, and continued that tragedy but inserted layers of hope, and beauty.

    In short, this is about found family, and making a good life with bad circumstances; however, it is so much more to me even after a whimsical purchase.

    Rather tropey, but not necessarily in a bad way—touches on one subject that I love:

    When asked who counts as Egyptian, one character (pro-Pan-Arab Islamic) is asked by another if Copts are not Egyptian then.

    I was like, “Did they really just touch on that?” 

    Brave for a Ramadan show, but amazing even as a binge-worthy show.
