Watch Theeb For Free

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Its like when you first see the beautiful deserts of Jordan - you get hooked.What's good about this movie: 1. story is compelling and truthful, it shows the basics of bedouin life and traditions, really universally brutal human customs if you think about it (hint; American west, Mongolian Steppe, Japanese Samurai, North African Tuareg, etc...) 2. actors (local actors that is) did very well simply because they were brought into the process and understood it very well even though they were never exposed to such thing before - kudos to the director / producer(s) 3. the way it was shot, never seen anything like it before (I promised I will not give away any spoilers but watch out for the unique way the camera follows the protagonist) 4. the pace fits the story and the surroundings - life in any vast, hot, sweltering desert with no air conditioning is quite slow; believe me I lived thereWhat's not so good: 1. the English soldier character (and actor) was average and did not add much with his overdramatised reactions, and the facade of a cold-hearted imperialist just did not ring truth 2. there were some production / editing issues with continuity and/or props / costumesOverall a very good movie that I have watched several times and will do again every time I miss the desert.

Naji Abu Nowar directed and co-wrote this Oscar-nominated film...the first from Jordan. It's set during World War One and covers some of the same material you'd find in the giant Dave Lean epic, "Lawrence of Arabia"...however it covers it in about the most different manner as you could imagine.The film is set among the desert-living Bedouins living within the Ottoman Empire. During the war, many of the Bedouins tired of rule under the Turkish Ottomans and sided with the Brits. And so, when a British soldier and his guide come upon a Bedouin camp in the night, these natives agree to escort the men to their destination. However, the next day when Hussein leaves to escort the pair, his much younger brother, Theeb (about age 8) soon begins following them. He wants to be a man just like Hussein. Unfortunately, soon the expedition goes awry when bandits attack--leaving Theeb the lone survivor. He's stuck in the middle of the desert and has no way to get back home. However, when one of the bandits, who is severely injured, comes upon Theeb, they work out a short truce. He needs help and Theeb cannot possibly survive along in such an inhospitable place.This is clearly a coming of age tale and it's an extremely well made but also very simple story. The acting and pacing are just fine and it's so very different from a sweeping action picture. Instead, it's a nice look into a different time and different culture. Not a great film but I certainly did enjoy it and would like to see more films from Naji Abu Nowar.

touchable music editing,when you watch "Theeb" you feel the sands touching your face and the Flies too. imagining of the desert spirits you think theeb is a rose rock born from wadi rum. waiting revenge until the right moment to mix the justice with revenge. Very nice making of the movie looking to their first time in directing. deserved BAFTA... from my point i found this movie better than the martian by utilizing wadi rum landscapes as you know both of them are photograph in the same place of wadi rum. another thing you must know for the actors this is the first stand against the camera. i advise everyone loves the mystery movies to watch "THEEB".

A Jordanian/ Arabic film from a debuting director as one of the five nominees for this years' Oscar (and BAFTA) for best foreign film. Enough to pique curiosity, but would you actually want to invest an hour and a half in a tale with the following IMDb tag line: "In the Ottoman province of Hijaz during World War I, a young Bedouin boy experiences a greatly hastened coming-of-age as he embarks on a perilous desert journey to guide a British officer to his secret destination." Well I just did, and the result was surprisingly gratifying. Surprising, because some way into the film I was already wearying of the desert survival saga that seemed to be in store. Seen enough of survival stuff this season in The Revenant. Gratifying, because the saga held up so well. The pace is deliberate, nothing much happens for long periods, but the backgrounds are rugged, the men are rough,..….and the boy is mesmerizing after a while. You just want to see what happens to him next….Naji Abu Nowar is a name to watch out for.
