- Critics' reviews
-
-
"[Clarkson] makes yearning palpable. She turns mysterious silences into a language of love."
-
"Writer-director Ruba Nadda's emphasis on body language ultimately trumps the clumsiness of her script."
-
"It's a haunting and hypnotic film. And Clarkson's sublimely nuanced performance is in every way transporting."
-
"What emerges is time pleasantly spent with a slice of life that examines a romantic dtente between two cultures. Like smoke from an Egyptian hookah, the melancholia lingers."
-
"Though the aim is subtlety, Cairo Time often seems to be making too much of too little."
