Wendy Ide Screen International [An] affecting and sensitively-acted exploration of child labour and class divisions in contemporary Egypt. Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Ramadan is absolute wonder in the role, never overdoing it the way many young actors do. She has a remarkably expressive face and she’s no one’s fool. Rated: B+ Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Ricardo Gallegos La Estatuilla It's a coming-of-age story that does justice to the genre in a powerful and transformative way. [Full Review in Spanish] Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Jordon Searle Loud and Clear Reviews The astounding lead performance by Ramadan prevents this clunky class divide story from becoming tedious. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Carson Timar Clapper Happy Birthday is an incredibly crafted and emotional feature that brings a needed humanity to a conversation of privilege and societal power. Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Happy Birthday is a truly moving picture and one of the most moving pictures of 2025. Rated: 4.0/4.0 Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
