style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>? From initial production chatter to the release of the first promotional<\/strong><strong> posters, the 2025 Um Kalthoum biopic <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt31402484\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">El Sett<\/a><\/strong><strong> has gotten more than its fair share of social media attention. <\/strong>Many people are questioning the choice to cast Mona Zaki as the legendary Kawkab el Sharq. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>To tell Um Kalthoum\u2019s story, screenwriter Ahmed Mourad traced the trajectory of Um <\/strong><strong>Kalthoum\u2019s life through key vignettes<\/strong>, starting with the 1967 Olympia concert in Paris. We\u2019re introduced to the young Souma, who performs at village weddings alongside her brother Khaled, and father Sheikh El Beltagi (Sayed Ragab). After a chance discovery by a talent scout, her life changes irrevocably. From there, the film follows the rising legend and the increasingly isolated woman she becomes off-stage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It\u2019s not a bad film\u2026 but it\u2019s not all that great either.<\/strong> When it comes to high budget productions, we expect the worst, but hope for the best. Given the complexity, authority, and historical significance of Um Kalthoum, we worried that no cinematic adaptation would do her justice, and went into the theater with very little expectations. El Sett ended up occupying some sort of middle ground \u2014 not phenomenal, but not catastrophic. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Mona Zaki was committed to the role, and gave it her all to convey Kawkab el <\/strong><strong>Sharq\u2019s emotional complexity. <\/strong>That said, the dialogue was \u2014 at times \u2014 lacking and inauthentic. The makeup department certainly didn\u2019t do Zaki any favors either, and the Egyptian actress bore little to no resemblance to the late legend. The film\u2019s main problem was its script. El Sett struggled with a fragmented screenplay in an attempt to capture every single milestone of Um Kalthoum\u2019s life. This overly ambitious undertaking resulted in a series of disjointed snapshots, and while many individual moments landed emotionally, the narrative as a whole struggled to connect, resulting in a three-hour runtime that still felt unnecessarily stretched thin. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Mourad\u2019s characterization of Um Kalthoum<\/strong>, which painted her as an overbearing, opportunistic, and ungenerous figure resulted in a lightning rod of criticism, and moviegoers made their discontent with his artistic license known. Another point of contention was the things left unsaid \u2014 several historical figures essential to El Sett\u2019s journey were either relegated to the periphery or cut out entirely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>From a directorial standpoint, Marwan Hamed left little to be desired, but one artistic <\/strong><strong>choice left us baffled.<\/strong> The film was beautifully directed \u2014 if at times too visually stimulating \u2014 but the frequent, seemingly arbitrary transitions between color and black-and-white cinematography seemed to lack a thematic pattern. The last film to employ these transitions was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/9414cdca-fb89-43cf-9f1a-269c28ae213b\/%253cmark%253eoppenheimer%253c%2Fmark%253e-is-a-stunning-take-on-a-historical-epoch-%2B-mistiqa-island-is-the-perfect-seaside-lebanese-eatery\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Oppenheimer<\/a> \u2014 director Christopher Nolan used color to denote when he used his artistic license, relegating black-and-white scenes to cold, hard fact. But we couldn\u2019t apply this logic to El Sett, and the indiscernible pattern led to a disjointed viewing experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>While this may be an unpopular opinion, we loved Hisham Nazih\u2019s score for the <\/strong><strong>movie.<\/strong> Nazih offered stellar renditions of iconic Um Kalthoum classics such as Enta Omri and Alf Leila w Leila. Combined with brilliant costuming \u2014 including custom jewelry from Azza Fahmy \u2014 and exquisite set design, certain scenes were incredibly beautiful and moving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Is El Sett worth your time? Yes. <\/strong>Does it deserve all the hate it\u2019s been getting? No. Is El Sett a legendary biopic to be referenced in years to come?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (COE33) became the most awarded game in The Game <\/strong><strong>Awards history, sweeping the 2025 ceremony with an unprecedented nine wins.<\/strong> The turn-based RPG from the French studio Sandfall Interactive didn\u2019t just make numerical history, it surpassed The Last of Us: Part II\u2019s previous record, proving that indie studios could compete with the industry\u2019s biggest names.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Set in a dark fantasy setting inspired by turn-of-the-century France, COE33 presents a <\/strong><strong>haunting premise:<\/strong> every year, a mysterious being called the Paintress paints a number on her monolith, and everyone of that age turns to smoke and disappears. After 67 years of counting down from 100, Expedition 33 sets out to destroy the Paintress and end the cycle of death. The world-building is exceptional, blending French Belle \u00c9poque aesthetics with surreal, nightmarish imagery. Players explore breathtaking locations like the Island of Visages and the Forgotten Battlefield, each area meticulously crafted to feel both beautiful and unsettling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The game enhances turn-based combat with real-time mechanics<\/strong> \u2014 players can dodge, parry, and counter attacks in real time, aim ranged attacks freely like a third-person shooter, and complete quick-time events to improve skill effects. This hybrid approach, which evolves as you progress throughout the game, breathes new life into the turn-based genre, making every encounter feel dynamic and engaging rather than static.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The numbers speak for themselves. <\/strong>The game sold 50k copies within 24 hours, hitting one mn copies within three days, and exceeding five mn by October 2025. Of 80k reviews on Steam, 97% were positive. After this year\u2019s Game Awards, the devs went home with titles for not just game of the year, but eight other trophies from 13 nominations. The ceremony itself opened with a full orchestral performance of the game\u2019s central rock opera (just in case anyone was wagering who the gold medalist was set to be).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Our verdict:<\/strong> COE33 represents everything great about modern game development \u2014 a passionate indie team with a clear vision, innovative gameplay that respects genre traditions while pushing boundaries, stunning audiovisual presentation, and a story that genuinely moves players (to tears). Its historic sweep at the Game Awards wasn\u2019t just deserved, it was inevitable. This is essential gaming, a landmark title that will be remembered as one of the generation\u2019s finest RPGs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>?

Everyday people talk with host Jonathan Goldstein to share personal stories that have lingered from years passed, unresolved traumas cast aside, and encounters that left lasting marks. Goldstein, an established author, serves as both host and guide, offering a space for people whose pasts remain open-ended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In one standout <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pushkin.fm\/podcasts\/heavyweight\/62-stefano#play\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">episode<\/a><\/strong><strong>, Goldstein speaks to Debbie, whose late mother Anita had a <\/strong><strong>short-lived mother-son connection with an orphaned child.<\/strong> Anita babysat the child, Stefano, on a long flight from Rome to New York, feeling a strong, motherly connection to him, and once he was taken away, never healed. Decades later, Anita would still be brought to tears by their unwanted separation. Five years after her mother\u2019s passing, Debbie struggles with her own grief, and reaches out to find Stefano and tell him of the love his mother had for him, hoping for closure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Simple, touching stories like these make up much of Heavyweight\u2019s catalog.<\/strong> Some episodes involve more humor and less heartache, but all of them are moving and interesting in ways you wouldn\u2019t expect. We got hooked on Heavyweight during its early seasons, and while it\u2019s not an easy, everyday listen, the takeaways and doses of earnest human connection keep it a favorite.<\/p>\n<p
