Directly after its release the first Arabic Netflix film “Perfect Strangers”(Ashab Wala Aaz) stirs wide controversy. The film was subjected to great criticism because of the ideas and scenes it houses which some considered to be inappropriate for Egyptian society, seeing that the movie contains dialogue that was not presented before in any Arabic or Egyptian movie. But at the same time it portrays the reality of the world we are living.
The movie is the awaited Arabic version of the “Perfect Strangers” movie and brings together a group of Arab stars for the first time, including Lebanese director Nadine Labaki, Egyptian actress Mona Zaki, Jordanian actor Iyad Nassar, Lebanese actors and actresses George Khabbaz, Adel Karam, Fouad Yammine and Diamand Bou Abboud. “Ashab Wala Aaz” is the first Arab film produced by Netflix.
