[An] urgent political thriller which examines the difference between speaking the words of others and actually having a voice.

Film Threat

This is an intelligent, well-crafted picture that hits with the power and depth of a nuclear submarine.

Amber Wilkinson

Eye for Film

Where many other filmmakers who have set films in Syria zoom in on the violence, the directors here concentrate more on the pervasive sense of dread, leaving much to the viewer's imagination.

Rated: 4/5

Cineuropa

The strongest moments of The Translator are when it veers into thought-provoking and challenging statements on the power of peaceful protest.
