Wendy Ide Screen International [An] affecting and sensitively-acted exploration of child labour and class divisions in contemporary Egypt. Nov 7, 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 Juan Carlos Ugarelli Cinencuentro ...Happy Birthday...offers a portrait of child labor and shows us the deep social rifts caused by classism and exclusion in modern Egyptian society, which can easily be extrapolated to much of Latin American and Western society. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest Touching story of two pink-loving young girls unfolds so that the revelations about their lives are a surprise to viewers not attuned to the subtle indicators of society in Cairo, Egypt. Camera captures startlingly different environments around them. Rated: 9/10 Jun 21, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
