Birds of the Nile is a quiet, reflective drama that dives deep into a young man's journey of self-discovery. The film captures the raw essence of urban life, showcasing the gritty atmosphere of a poor neighborhood while exploring themes of illness and resilience. The pacing allows for moments of introspection, giving you time to absorb the emotional weight of his struggles. There's a palpable connection between the characters, especially with his sister Narjes, and the performances feel authentic, almost like a slice of life caught on camera. The encounters with various women add layers to his character, but it’s the haunting parallel he finds with another girl suffering from cancer that really lingers with you. It's a film that resonates, albeit in a heavy way.
