‘The Virgin, the Copts and Me’ has been screened in cinemas for 5 days now. Here we publish some experts form Polish reviews.
- " ‘The Virgin, the Copts and Me’ is a rather unusual documentary film. At a time when politicians exacerbate the conflict between Islam and Christianity, the young Frenchman is looking for evidence of peaceful coexistence in a little village. His film is full of humor and a peaceful view at the world, not so much divided. "
Barbara Hollender, Rzeczpospolita
- "Despite the rational attitude ‘The Virgin, the Copts and Me’ is a documentary that does not mock the religion. Mainly because Meessah is aware that close and extended family ties are rooted within the sphere of faith. He looks with curiousity at his cousins, uncles, grandmothers united in their belief in the miracle of 1968. It is for them that he re-directs the Marian apparition, assigning each an acting role. And then he gives them a screening of the film, receiving in return the silent admiration of the natives."
Łukasz Badula, Kulturaonline.pl
- "A journey in which Messeeh takes us, turns out to be (…) a fascinating experience. His ‘Virgin…’ moves, but avoids at the same time the exalted tone, emotional buffoonery or intellectual pomposity. It’s a simple, funny story."
