It was a good movie and each part had a different story than the other. It's nice to see Saudi cinema getting better in the recent period. It's a very good movie. It has some negatives, but we can't object because they are definitely newbies with time. They will improve and we don't focus on the negatives. We are only looking for the positives. What I liked most about the movie is the choice of characters who are very suitable for movies and deserve to be chosen in the movie. I also hope that we will see a completely different work for them, and the next work is more beautiful, but Shams Al-Maaref is the best Saudi movie so far.

A surprise, an anthology from the arabian peninsula that easily will be lined up among the best in this kind of genre. And believe it or not , this is real mockery with the arabian culture en masse'
its attacking issues like infidelity, alcohol consumption, the wealthy rich, and most of all religious rites. Its not that i have knowledge of arabian life and culture firsthand, but i do from my education and a long life lived that this netflix production would be hard to swallow for many in the muslim world...
they have made a good product of tales of the unexpected clung together with nice musical score, and an amazingly nice float from story to story. The acts are full of gesticulating and enhanced use of nonverbal signs and language, and with a maincast delivering like this, their next product should be all pantomimic , like the films ''the bra '' or ''a man with a hat'', cause they are hilarious at its best.
So if youre a novise to the cinematic landscape of the arabic world, then this will be a good place to start. Alkhallat+ is a recommend from the grumpy old man.

Sketch (1) :
A beautiful, funny and elaborate sketch in most respects. The presence of Ismail Hassan and Suhaib Quds is enough to make the scene comedic to the greatest degree. I don't like Fahd Al-Butairi, but his role in this sketch was beautiful and his performance was wonderful ..
Sketch (2): Mohammed al-Dokhi dominated the performance, the idea was somewhat spent, its events were expected, the rest of the actors performed normally, and there was stuffing in the events and stretching to increase the time. I liked that at the end of the second sketch in One-shot, the third sketch began ..
Sketch (3) : The idea is awesome, and Ibrahim Al-Hajjaj's performance is amazing, even though it is one connected event and there are not many events that are one event, but the somewhat terrifying pace of the event, which makes you nervous and makes you aware of the existing excitement, was beautiful tricks ..
Sketch (4): We don't need to talk about Abu Shahri's performance, but let's talk about the sketch. We have been trying for a while to improve the reputation of the Saudis and the Gulf abroad, and we want to change the foreigners' perception of us. If this is shown on YouTube, I can accept it, but it is shown on Netflix in the Middle East, and you have more than one topics to talk about. It is not necessary to mention this thing, even if it was comic, although the sketch was devoid of comedy, Karenj to the greatest degree, except for the monthly, as I told you..
+ Regarding some reviewers, I see some young reviewers, scrutinizing all the details that one does not notice in foreign works, as if they were looking for a slip; I mean, like, for example, he tells you that Mike appeared in this scene + this one had extra makeup and things that did not affect the level of the story. You knew how, so calm down, boys, The unnecessary external shots are sometimes affected, but not always, and this doesn't mean that the story is ruined because of the mistakes that happen behind the scenes. In the end, they are human beings and make mistakes. The scrutiny and constructive criticism is based on the content of the story, its events, the idea and the main points, not the unimportant points at all ..
My Rating : (7.0/10)

A very entertaining Saudi comedy
folk_egm30 January 2023
Movies from Saudi Arabia that are pious in Islam. But take these stories out to parody, satire into 4 hilarious, cute stories that are fun, very entertaining, recommend it to anyone who is looking for something different. And then there is unexpected entertainment that can be opened to watch. Guarantee of laughter But no matter how much the movie parodyes itself But it has a good conclusion. It is also within the framework of the basic virtue of religion. Which is considered a movie that seems to make the world watch more That... Islam that is strict and deep has a corner that can be relaxed according to the era as well.
Just Amazing

Another pearl from Telfaz production, love the return of Fahad Albuteri but wished to see more of him maybe next time , Sohib Qudus is funny as usual with Ismail but the most funny part is with Alshehari as usual wished to see Muied Alnofie with them in this project , Aldokahi was great but it could be better than this , the Females actors did well but nothing special also wished more of Ibrahim his role was very short maybe he could be more funnier than what was in movie another thing is long absence of Masheal Aljaser from Telfaz work since long time also Alkalthemi same thing away since long time overall worth to watch.
"Alkhallat+ - A Masterfully Crafted Anthology Film that Keeps You Guessing Until the End"
ParagFerdus23 January 2023
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.

Light and funny

A collection of short films, sketches, each story is different from the previous one.
Photography, directing, actors were very good.
Dialogues are very good but there are some stalling moments, it could have been better.
I wished the first sketch would be more events and plots in the restaurant and more adventures for the main character.
The role of the male waiter in the restaurant could have been much better with better dialogues.
The same thing in the family trip sketch could have increased the plots in the hotel and nightclub.
In general it made me laugh and I enjoyed it.
Creative, light and funny.
