THEEB ★★★★

If The Assassin was the biggest disappointment of the festival, this was the nicest surprise. I didn’t originally have this one booked, but after having heard good things about it, decided to give it a try. An engaging Arabic film about a boy who follows his brother who’s asked to guide a British soldier to Mecca in World War I, the pacing, suspense and emotional connection with the characters was spot on. See it if you can.
