Moe has problems. His film set is filled with offscreen drama, his novelist friend has landed in prison for publishing “profound language,” and his girlfriend just left him. Plus, all he really wants to do is work on his own films, not the commercial gigs he’s been taking. With all this on his plate, the last thing he relishes is finishing editing across town.

"The Egyptian film 'Exterior/Night' (or 'EXT. Night') is a differentiated movie, with evident echoes of Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi's cinema ('Taxi', '3 Faces').

It is not entirely original, given the similarity of director Ahmad Abdalla's cinema with Panahi's works. But it does not take away from the revelations."
