Metacritic reviews

Largely sidesteps sentiment in favor of a tentative hopefulness.

It has an air of melancholy humor as its characters fumble toward normalcy.

Masharawi's use of actual footage of clogged roadblocks and scary police actions bring a topical immediacy to his film, but it also asks an important question about the relevance of art during a time of crisis.

Attempts to meld reality and artifice but to uninspiring results.
