Mandoob (Night Courier) review – darkly amusing gig-economy satire on the mean streets of Riyadh

Rising-star director Ali Kalthami presents us with a glimpse of Riyadh in transition. The city is modernising, but luckless Fahad is stuck in the past. He misinterprets a female ex-colleague’s friendliness as romantic interest; it’s obvious she views him sweet but sad. Fahad’s sister Sara is opening a cookie business; she doesn’t need his help but he blunders in, casting himself as her protector.
