Reviews
|
New York Magazine (Vulture) -
Think "In the Mood for Love" with hookahs instead of chopsticks.
|
|
Observer -
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.

|
Entertainment Weekly -
Cairo Time is affectingly gentle, with Juliette slowing down to open up -- a gossamer transformation that Clarkson makes tangible.
|
|
Rolling Stone -
It's a haunting and hypnotic film.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
It's a postcard-lovely movie that, in spite of its best intentions, ends up feeling a little touristy.
