About This Movie

All Is Well, from 1984, dives into the absurdity of ambition with a blend of dark humor. Fathy, the struggling journalist, is portrayed with a certain desperation that feels almost relatable. The pacing is a bit uneven, reflecting his chaotic life, which adds to the film's charm. The comedic elements are laced with a satirical take on media and fame, making you think while you chuckle. The practical effects used for the 'murder' scene are surprisingly effective, adding a layer of grit to the comedy. The performances, especially from the leads, hold a certain awkwardness that enhances the film’s offbeat tone. It’s definitely a unique piece that stands out in the comedic landscape of the era.
