Movie Review: Cairo Time

Patricia Clarkson gives one of the strongest and most fascinating performances of the year in the memorable Cairo Time, a film that transcends being a mere travelogue to linger in the mind as a study of a very unusual chapter in a woman's life. With jaw-dropping cinematography that will make you see this international hub in a way you've never seen it before, Cairo Time is a subtle, quiet, slow film that succeeds in not only burrowing under your skin and into your mind during its running time but has a remarkable ability to stay there for days and weeks afterward. Many viewers will be turned off by the lack of action (this is the anti-Expendables in nearly every way although it is interesting how it more successfully addresses some of the themes and general set-up of Eat Pray Love) but for those intrigued by the premise, it couldn't possibly have been delivered much more expertly, eloquently, or memorably.
