Critics' reviews

"'The Nile Hilton Incident' represents the type of penetrating filmmaking that only a writer-director intimately familiar with Egyptian culture but possessing an outsider's perspective could convincingly accomplish."

Justin Lowe: The Hollywood Reporter
"A paranoid portrait of individual and systemic corruption that leaves none of its characters unscarred."

Nick Schager: Variety
"It hits a lot of familiar beats (...) Tarik Saleh follows narrative procedure at a slow burn—too slow of a burn—and the story fails to resonate aside from its finale"

Nick Allen: rogerebert.com
"It’s horribly fascinating to watch (...) The trouble with the movie — and it’s significant — is that Mr. Saleh is so keen to survey Egypt’s dysfunction that his pacing wanes."

Ken Jaworowski: The New York Times
"Tarik Saleh’s film gives a casually electric sense of how hardscrabble lives persist in times of war (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Ed Gonzalez: Slant
"An unsparing portrait of Egypt before the revolution (...) You understand why everyday Egyptians were fed up enough to take to the streets and demand change."

Chris Nashawaty: Entertainment Weekly
"This is a good-looking package, with Krister Linder’s pulsating electronic soundtrack and veteran French DoP Pierre Aim’s depiction of a user-unfriendly urban jungle"

Lee Marshall: Screendaily
