Boyd van Hoeij Hollywood Reporter An intriguing debut for arthouse aficionados. Jun 6, 2019 Full Review Jay Weissberg Variety Taken as a whole, the overlong movie fails to come together, too invested in generating a claustrophobic atmosphere, even in the open desert, to the neglect of everything else. Jun 2, 2019 Full Review Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye Sidi-Boumediene is more concerned with evoking the state of fear and paranoia from the impending violence than creating a tidy narrative, challenging his audience to stick around for the ride. Jul 3, 2021 Full Review Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) Abou Leila is more atmospheric than narrative, but something about it invites you to keep watching.

[Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Aug 25, 2020 Full Review Lisa Nesselson France24 Surreal elements make this sun-drenched western part-thriller, part-tragedy...
