Morose, hangdog Noredin, so unconvincing in his colonel's uniform, is a satisfying antihero. Mar 2, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The evocation of that old film noir feeling is hugely effective here: Dad telling his freshly-bribed son "You can't buy dignity," the fantastic slow zoom on a love scene reflected in a two-way mirror, even the beguiling torch singer. Nov 2, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

As doomed as Noredin's actions often seem, they're tinged with enough simmering humanity to keep us caring. Aug 31, 2017 | Full Review…

It's possible to admire each scene and still see this film, in its entirety, as in need of some serious sharpening. Aug 10, 2017 | Full Review…

This film noir, set in Cairo as the Arab Spring erupts, is a fabulous example of how have different layers of storytelling that will appeal to a variety of audiences. There is a murder mystery, a political statement and social allegory all in one. Jan 2, 2019 | Rating: 8 | Full Review…

If you're a fan of classic noir movies and are disheartened by the fact that the genre has devolved into ineffective Blade Runner knock-offs (I'm looking at you, Mute), then The Nile Hilton Incident is well worth seeking out. Nov 12, 2018 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

It an infectious energy about it that is as likely to infuriate as it is to entertain, a film that may begin with a police investigation and ends in a lot of soul searching. Nov 1, 2018 | Full Review…

This intriguing and illuminating film grubbily recreates a failing society that engulfs individuals and spits them out and where only violent revolution can effect change - maybe. Aug 27, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The story plays as a metaphor for Cairo's wider problems, never preaching but effectively humanising. Jul 6, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
