Deborah Young of The Hollywood Reporter states the film "will be remembered as one of the most telling depictions of modern Egypt yet filmed" and "is an original, often quite disturbing experience to watch".
Jay Weissberg of Variety writes "this is bravura filmmaking with a kick-in-the-gut message about chaos and cruelty (with some humanity)."
