Reviews


80
New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
Think "In the Mood for Love" with hookahs instead of chopsticks.
75
Observer - Rex Reed
What emerges is time pleasantly spent with a slice of life that examines a romantic détente between two cultures. Like smoke from an Egyptian hookah, the melancholia lingers.
75
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
Cairo Time is affectingly gentle, with Juliette slowing down to open up -- a gossamer transformation that Clarkson makes tangible.
75
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
It's a haunting and hypnotic film.
67
The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps
It's a postcard-lovely movie that, in spite of its best intentions, ends up feeling a little touristy.
