A flawed but interesting fiction debut.

Variety

While the story itself is potent, the dialogue is unremarkable and the characters of Jalal and Reem are less compelling than their situations warrant.

The allegory is interesting, and its topicality makes the film worth a watch, but in the end it fails to make a genuine, lasting impact.

The Day I Lost My Shadow is a powerful drama which highlights the trauma and desensitising effect of living in a war zone.

Set in 2012 Damascus, [Kaadan's] debut centers on a single mother's nightmare-in-daylight trek through the countryside, with a tone that is a cross between documentary and magic realism.

Rated: 2.5/4

Cineuropa

While at times the movie feels slightly stilted and almost episodic, that soullessness has many rewards in store for those looking for a different tale about Syria and civil war, making it a truly original debut.
