VENICE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2024 - Critics' Week

" Cairo-born Muhammed Hamdy’s debut feature confronts the ghosts of the past and the way they haunt and shape the present. Unfolding in a sepulchral gloom, his sombre ghost story develops into a powerful meditation on loss, guilt, paranoia and the haunting legacy of an oppressive regime. There are clear affinities with the work of Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and the relevance to so many areas of on-going global conflict and division should ensure further festival screenings following a world premiere in Venice Critics Week." - Screen Daily
