Carlos Aguilar Variety Unorthodox, yet fascinating, "Behind the Mountains" is mostly concerned with passing on the inspiring idea that it only takes one person to believe things can be different for change to begin. Dec 4, 2023 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film A magical realist tale which invites us to reassess what’s possible within the paradigms of science and Islam, to recognise the importance of entertaining wild ideas even as we see the danger of it. Rated: 4.5/5 Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Sarah Manvel In Their Own League The entire movie becomes suffused with the glow of both Rafik’s belief in his ability and his love for his son. It’s so unusual and remarkable an achievement that “Behind the Mountains” can only be strongly recommended. What a great movie. Jun 6, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Whack!. Rated: C- Jan 1, 2024 Full Review Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye At once, Behind the Mountains is a father-son story, a hostage thriller and a supernatural dramedy - different genres lumped together without harmony. It’s a film that wants to be multiple things but ends up being none. Nov 18, 2023 Full Review Lee Marshall Screen International A striking piece of filmmaking that lingers stubbornly in the mind.
