Five Moroccans are pushed to the fringes in Casablanca by an extremist government.

Scott Tobias

Variety

"Razzia" is fatally crippled by a conceit that flattens the characters to serve an argument, like bullet points in a sweeping editorial about the current state of Morocco.

AV Club

Ayouch pointlessly, gracelessly entwines the fates of five thinly sketched types ... whose aimless arcs don't so much climatically intersect as reach the same Hail Mary non-ending simultaneously.

Rated: D

The Hollywood Reporter

A sprawling cri de coeur set in the heart of modern-day Casablanca, Nabil Ayouch's Razzia is an intense network narrative that nearly collapses under the weight of its own ambitions.

One Room With A View

It is eye-opening in its rawness and introduces interesting questions. It leaves many of them unresolved, however, consequently feeling unsure of its message.

Rated: 2/5

Obviously, [Director Nabil Ayouch's] criticism of retreating values speaks as much to the countries of the Maghreb as it does to Europe today, but his cry against injustice is far less complex. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2.5/5

Excellent film, depicting the internal conflicts in Kasablanca during the "Arab Spring", through 5 touching personal experiences.

To me Nabil, tried unsuccefully to copy past Babel movie in every aspect. I think he missed an opportunity to tackle serious issues such as Rif and all Morocan claims to democracy, education, health infrastructure...
