Warning: Spoilers
I recently had the pleasure of watching Alkhallat+, a new anthology film directed by Fahad Alammari. The film explores themes of social deception and trickery through four different stories set in various locations, each one with a different tone and style, that kept me engaged throughout the whole movie. The first story was beautifully shot and had some great camera work that complimented the trickery and came from a good place. There's a reason people chose to go through these situations, and I could almost relate to them.

The second story was also a great addition to the film, with a young chef working in a kitchen at a high-end restaurant and wanting to bring her parents closer together. The third story was about a widow mourning her husband, and his best friend was in charge of taking his phone away so his wife couldn't see what was on there, was a bit more serious but still a great story. The fourth story was about a father and son getting into some shenanigans while the mother was out and was more upbeat and entertaining.

The cast, which included Fahad Albutairi, Ismail Alhassan, Vishesh Chachra, Hesham Elshazly, Sohayb Godus and Ibrahim Al Hajjaj, did an excellent job with the material they were given, and each one of them brought something unique to their characters.

Overall, I found Alkhallat+ to be an excellent film that kept me engaged from beginning to end. The director, Fahad Alammari, did an excellent job of bringing together four different stories that explore different aspects of social deception and trickery, in a way that was both engaging and relatable. I would highly recommend this film to anyone looking for a well-crafted anthology film that will keep you guessing until the end.
