Controversy


In December 2017 in Egypt the film was referred to Al-Azhar University for investigation of blasphemy, despite it having been cleared by Egypt's censorship committee. When film critic Tarek El-Shenawy defended the film, many Facebook readers responded with angry insults against him and the film.[3]
