Flight 404

I am really blown away by Mona Zaki's performance.

The story is breathtaking! Ghada, the protagonist who is haunted by a sinful past is trying to take the pilgrimage to Mecca and wipe the slate clean, while constantly being challenged by the temptations to return to it.

Just before her trip, she encounters a real pickle in which she is pressured to reach out to the same people who she is trying to run away from. It's a real dilemma that drives enjoyable suspense in the film.

Following Ghada "who is Mona" throughout this journey, with the fear of what could happen and cheering for her has really made this film an engaging experience. Hats off to the director and Mona for her absolutely amazing performance!

"Flight 404" is, without a doubt, one of the best films of the year. It dives deep into a struggle that many viewers, especially those of faith, will find relatable: the battle between living up to one's religious ideals and navigating the pull of life's challenges that seem determined to tear you apart. This film doesn't shy away from presenting the reality of that inner conflict, and it does so with honesty and grace.

Mona Zaki's performance is nothing short of spectacular. She brings every emotion to life, making you feel both sorrow and frustration as her character faces impossible choices. Zaki's portrayal is powerful and nuanced, truly showcasing her range and depth as an actress. The supporting cast also shines, each playing an important role that adds weight to the story, enhancing its impact.

Overall, Flight 404 is a must-watch-a thought-provoking, beautifully crafted film that lingers long after the credits roll.

I thought I'm going to watch something while doing the housework.. but as soon as the main issue happend in the movie I rewinded it and can't put in words how mona z acting is breathtaking..I only gave it 8 out off ten for some average acting here and there but it's a very important film to be made at this time and age .. if you see the bigger picture of the challenge the main actress dealing with .. you can apply it for tons of personal choices and how the sounding react to it with blame guilt tripping and making it hard just to see how are you commit to the choices you choose for yourself.. great touching film.

I'm an Iranian and I have never seen monazaki movies I am impressed by her acting of also the plot was really awesome it was amazing I enjoyed it thank you very much hope to see much more from you guys in the future I love the movie and I will recommend it to everyone I see thank you so much again I hope this beautiful work continues. From the Egypt cinema this is the second thing I see the first one was hashashin which was an amazing TV series I've seen the first season and it was perfect and this is the second one it's actually a movie in movies it's the first one I liked it I loved it actually it was heartwarming.

Flight 404 is an Egyptian film that has many fans among Arab audiences, but it is unlikely to be a great film among Iranian viewers. In terms of film-making techniques, this movie for Iranians is at the same level as the soaps.

From the point of view of the script, there are no knots or challenges in the film.

The film is about Ghada (the first role of the film), a woman with a sinful background who is on the threshold of the Hajj journey, but problems arise for her that prevent her journey and force her to meet the people she met in her previous life. He had a relationship and became more disappointed with what he had lived. The turning point of the screenplay is Ghadeh's resistance to return to the previous path despite all the temptations and difficulties and his loyalty to his decision for a clean and new path in his life.

The main focus of the story is facing the problems of life and specifically providing money for the operation of Mother Ghada, which is a problem for people living in Iran that we face every day and every hour, and from this point of view, it is not attractive for them.

Some movie critics considered this film as a documentary that expresses the problems of not only Egyptian women but also men, and this is a strong point for this film.

This is despite the fact that the drama cinema in this movie is much darker and biting. Films that express social harm more clearly and bitingly. " I'm Taraneh, 15", "His! Girls Don't Scream", "Leila", "Circle", "The Day I Became a Woman" and... are among these films.
