Slow and confusing opening. Who is she? Where are we? Who is they guy in the bar she sleeps with? Why? Who is the guy she meets from her past. They look alike. Is he the same guy? Why do I care? Is there a snack in the fridge? What were the critics thinking to rate this at 93%? I'm with the audience at 34%.

The movie might as well have been filmed in the Luxor airport. It was just dull, flat, dismal with a few promising flashes and an over-the-top scene that was more laughable than dramatic. It gets one and a half stars for production values...the camera operator did keep the camera in focus and the actors visible. I enjoy and own a wide variety of films and directors, ranging from art house to schlock, by the way, so it's not like I was disappointed by the lack of a chase, etc.. The film we saw prior to this was the oddly paced but interesting Waiting for the Barbarians, which was far, far better than this,

Luxor (2020): Surgeon from war zone on R&R in Egypt reconnects with her former lover, an archaeologist. He lives in past. She is traumatized by her work in the present. Very slow, meandering movie. Movie is a treat for tourists who have visited Luxor and its temples and tombs. B-

Excellent film. An intriguing story about a doctor, Hana, and a former lover that she runs into in Luxor, Egypt. She's on furlough from practicing medicine in a war zone. Hana is physically and emotionally exhausted from the horrific work and things she saw. As she visits one of the ruins, the tour guide asked the question, " How do we conquer our own inner demons? The story evolves as if you are walking beside her. The photography is close up and you can feel the surrounding ruin. The relationships feel real. The ending is bewitching. This film is a jewel.

Without doubt the worst film I've ever watched. My wife walked out half way through it was so turgid.

If you want to pass the time watching a travel movie that takes place in Egypt, then go for it. The sights are beautiful. Otherwise, there is no actual story.

There are just not enough words on the page to make this worthwhile. There are long stretches of no dialogue in which the story just sits there and it's not pushed forward. When there are interactions I wished it was a silent film. Another in the LONG line of short films (15 mins at best) that are stretched for no reason to feature length. There's little of value here, unless you like people thinking and not speaking. Final Score: 2/10

Slow , boring and nothing really happens

The film is a bit tedious. The main character is difficult to relate to and the story is weak. I did enjoy the views of Luxor but found the movie much too dull.

The film follows a doctor, played by Andrea Riseborough, recuperating from working in a war zone. She meanders around ancient Egyptian temples in Luxor, a place she is familiar with. The writer-director Zeina Durra captures her dislocation from her current surroundings and her attempts to reconnect through the two-thousand-year history in which she is immersed. However, despite the unique and stunning location, this is also a fairly painful process for the viewer and is ultimately unengaging and unmemorable.

Complete waste of time and money, avoid and watch paint dry instead. Depressive main character never cheers up, no story, dull travelogue for Egyptian tourist sites. Film ends with no evident solution but relief for the viewer that it's over. Avoid.

Oh dear, oh dear. Boring film. Slow, pretentious. On the plus side...beautifully shot with great scenery.
