I Am Not With Them

About This Movie

I Am Not With Them is one of those films that blends comedy with a touch of drama and romance in an interesting way. You have Amr, played by Ahmed Eid, who’s this laid-back playboy stumbling through medical school, living a life that feels a bit chaotic with drugs and carefree whims. The twist comes when he meets Farah, a veiled religious student, and he takes a rather absurd route to win her over by pretending to be someone he’s not. It’s a peculiar exploration of identity and the lengths one might go for love. The performances are solid, particularly Eid's, who manages to balance the charm and the underlying deception. The pacing has a relaxed vibe, which works well for the narrative, creating an atmosphere that is reflective rather than rushed.

Interesting take on identity and belief.Amr's character adds a layer of humor to serious themes.Cinematography reflects the carefree youth culture.
