The lovely twilit moments in this movie stay with one, and that summoning them up in your mind is like slowing down time.

Clarkson lights up Ruba Nadda's stately drama Cairo Time like the moon on a summer night, making every moment luminous with quiet, resigned longing.

What it has going for it, however, is a strong performance from Clarkson, who has become one of the more reliable character actors in independent film.
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Confirms two things that hardly need confirming: The Egyptian capital is a breathtaking metropolis, and Patricia Clarkson is one of the best actors in the world.

Cairo Time proves hard to resist, the film's familiarity gradually giving way to a playfulness that feels new to the impossible-love subset of bourgeois melodrama.
