Raya and Sakina

About This Movie

Raya and Sakina is an interesting mix of comedy and drama, with a musical flair that adds a unique layer to the narrative. The plot revolves around two sisters, Riya and Skina, who dive headfirst into a life of crime, kidnapping wealthy women with the assistance of Riya's husband. What sets it apart is the dark humor woven into their misadventures. The pacing has its moments, with some slower scenes that help build tension, especially as Skina navigates her marriage plans with a clueless policeman. The performances are lively, particularly the chemistry between the sisters, and the practical effects are charmingly dated but add to its allure. It’s one of those films that feels like a time capsule of its era, capturing the spirit of Egyptian cinema in the early '80s.
