About This Movie

The Clock Turned, directed by Abdulameer AlTorky, is an intriguing blend of comedy and family themes that goes beyond mere entertainment. It tackles the sensitive issue of sectarianism through the lens of university life. The characters Jassem and Abdul Nasser, representing different sects, navigate their differences amidst humorous yet poignant situations. The pacing is quite distinct, balancing light-hearted moments with deeper reflections on unity and acceptance. The performances are earnest, especially with Al-Nabhan and Al-Zayer bringing their characters to life with a genuine chemistry. It's interesting how it uses theatrical elements that were prominent during the 1985-1986 season, giving it a unique feel. A subtle yet impactful take on societal challenges.
