Our story

Built for Arab film lovers.

The problem we're solving

The Arab world has a vibrant film culture — passionate audiences, sharp critics, and a growing generation of YouTube creators who review films with real depth in Arabic. But that conversation is scattered across dozens of channels, hard to discover, and invisible to general-purpose review platforms built for Western markets.

Reel Talk changes that. We aggregate reviews from Arab YouTubers into a single, beautifully designed app — so you can find trusted Arab perspectives on any film, in your language, instantly.

How it works

Our platform uses AI to analyse YouTube transcripts from featured Arab creators, extracting scores, quotes, and sentiment. Every review is linked back to the original video, so you can watch the full critique with one tap. We never replace the creator — we surface them.

Alongside reviews, Reel Talk shows you where to stream each film on regional platforms (Shahid, Netflix MENA, OSN+, and others), and provides direct booking links to cinema chains across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and Kuwait.

Our values

Creator-first

Arab YouTubers are the product. We build with them, not around them.

Language-native

Full Arabic and English support with proper RTL. Not an afterthought.

Regionally grounded

Streaming, cinemas, and content are filtered for MENA — not the US.

Privacy-respecting

We collect only what we need. Your data stays yours.

Who we are

Reel Talk is an independent project built by a team that loves Arab cinema and believes the region deserves better tools for discovering and discussing it. We're in early development and launching soon across MENA.
