A potential suicide bomber spends time with her hostage, a fast-talking train station attendant.

Leslie Felperin

Guardian

Ghandour... is astonishing, holding the still centre of the story with an intense, underplayed performance that delivers just the right blend of anguish, bafflement and blankness.

Rated: 4/5

Deborah Young

The Hollywood Reporter

Rather than head the story into straight thriller territory, Al-Daradji and co-screenwriter Isabelle Stead opt for a more philosophical, humanistic turn.

Variety

Packing a lot into a short narrative time span without seeming overstuffed, "The Journey" comes close to mawkish contrivance now and then but always stops short.

El Mundo (Spain)

Suspense is developed almost in real time that and effectively evokes Italian neorealism. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

Javier Ocaña

El Pais (Spain)

Their timely images of impact are not enough to sustain a skeletal script that lacks tons of context. [Full Review in Spanish]

Carlos Marañón

Cinemanía (Spain)

[Director Mohamed Al Daradji] has found the perfect physical space for his altarpiece of beings in distress, a human landscape modified by the appearance of a character that is allowed to elevate the extreme tension. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5
