17 nov 2017 · Holy Air (2017) Written and Directed by Shady Srour. Starring Shady Srour, Laëtitia Eïdo, Shmulik Calderon, and Tarik Kopty. 4 out of 5 stars.

With that goal in mind, Holy Air might actually be a massive success in its undertaking; but as an entertaining film, it makes for a pretty weak display." - Review by Leigh Monson
