Feb 16, 2016A tense and powerful debut feature set against the breathtaking vastness of the Jordanian desert and with a deliberate pace, an evocative score and assured performances by its non-professional Bedouins that are proof of Naji Abu Nowar's talent in directing actors.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Jun 21, 2015This has its quotas of violence and sentiment, plus landscape shots, but it is nothing special. A film entirely about men, possibly for men, it gives the impression that women did not exist in this world. The boy's cuteness is too trite a device and he does not come of age as suggested in the blurb; rather he is a fortunate and plucky survivor throughout. Mostly well made, it is not though always logical, and is predictable. The camels are interesting.. . Super Reviewer
