Cairo Time is a romantic drama about a brief, unexpected love affair that catches two people completely off-guard.
“Just when you think you know what’s coming, the canny writer-director Ruba Nadda (Sabah) makes sure you won’t. Nadda lets the sensuous tempos of Cairo life seep into Juliette’s system, and ours. It’s a haunting and hypnotic film. And Clarkson’s sublimely nuanced performance is in every way transporting.”
