"Ameer Fakher Eldin's directorial debut not only shares a title with Albert Camus' famous play, but is also about a man immersed in an existential crisis in the face of absurdity".

"As an atmospheric work that evokes a kind of atrophied idealism (...) Eldin's excellent debut has an undeniable strength"

"Eldin offers us a unique vision of a land suspended in time, locked in its contested status (...) It may seem complicated, but there is something in its veiled aesthetic that always appeals, despite the rough ride".
