	Author	Review
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"Boasting superb camerawork from d.p. Ahmed Gabr and stellar crowd direction, 'Clash' might strike some as crossing too often into hysteria, yet this is bravura filmmaking"	POS
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Powerful and very disturbing (...) Remarkably, the film doesn’t take sides."	POS
United States	Jaime N. Christley Slant	"'Clash' makes good on a nifty premise"	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"[A] disturbing and technically daring thriller (...) While this is only Diab’s second film (...) his craftsmanship is breathtaking (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Lee Marshall Screendaily	"'Clash' is intensely cinematic, inventively using a handheld camera in a confined space as a mirror of a society with no room for manoeuvre."	POS
Australia	David Stratton The Australian	"A riveting viewing experience (...) It’s a bold concept and it works pretty well"	POS
