This movie is billed as "drama/romance". Perhaps I prefer my dramas a little more dramatic, or my romances with more than just fleeting desire. This movie is not much more than the camera following Juliette and Tareq as they wander along Cairo's streets and see some sights while they get to know each other a bit and wait for her husband to arrive. There is not great "forbidden romance", just hopes of one on the part of the audience. The filmmakers could have at least made the husband an appealing character, but he just doesn't begin to compare to handsome elegant Tareq, and I, for one, was disappointed with Juliette's end choice.
