Andrea Riseborough conveys what her character is not able to say with a beautifully sensitive performance in the midst of timeless antiquities.

| Jan 10, 2022

A movie that captures the gut-ache of ruminating on lost love, and the pain of an expiration date hanging over a brief encounter that maybe doesn't have to end.

| Original Score: B | Feb 21, 2021

An apparently slight, but deeply rewarding film, Luxor reveals its purpose slowly, in fragments of growing significance.

| Feb 21, 2021

Luxor offers a strange marriage of travelogue, post-traumatic stress disorder, spirituality and something like romance.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 21, 2021

The dialogue is thin and the action is patchy, but Durra films Hana's travels-and the places that she visits-with an ardent attention that fuses emotional life with aesthetic and intellectual exploration.

| Jan 11, 2021

Co-stars Andrea Riseborough and Karim Saleh are practically perfect in this thoughtful romance.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 4, 2020

In its modest, quiet maturity, "Luxor" avoids the cliché of presenting the East as exotic... - it's the rare travel story that understands how sometimes being someplace else is as much about the "being" as it is the "someplace else."

| Dec 3, 2020

Luxor brings out yet another quietly inward-facing performance from Riseborough.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 20, 2020

Luxor has the outline of something special, with its traces of Antonioni-esque ennui, its watercolour palette, its expressive use of architecture.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 18, 2020

Zeina Durra's sparse, meditative relationship drama is a bit like walking in on Before Midnight without ever meeting the younger version of Jesse and Celine.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 10, 2020

Luxor is reminiscent of other deliberately excruciating movies in which uptight, middle-class singletons lose the plot.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 9, 2020

Andrea Riseborough floats around the Egyptian city of Luxor in this contemplative drama from British writer-director Zeina Durra about a doctor with PTSD.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 8, 2020

It's a mesmerising performance and a sturdy spine for a powerful movie that will, at the very least, and at a time when you can't, make you want to visit Luxor.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 7, 2020

With its mournful, meditative tone and stripped-down aesthetic, Luxor is a film of heartfelt introspection, held together by a phenomenal performance from Riseborough.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 5, 2020

Atmospheric and mystical, but drifts from the memory a little.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2020

Director Zeina Durra takes us by surprise, her study of emotional scar tissue never earnest or brutal.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 4, 2020

Durra excels at suggesting subtexts and undercurrents threaded through everyday conversations.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 4, 2020

Durra peels away at her lead character to reveal the desperation of Hana's belief that Luxor can glue her back together. Her hope pierces.
