It Must Be Heaven Reviews
indieWire
Eric Kohn
While "It Must Be Heaven" doesn't exactly find a solution to the crisis of Palestinian identity, it does stand out as a somewhat more hopeful work than the director's previous outings.
TheWrap
Ben Croll
As a director, [Elia] Suleiman knows how to compose the frame to get the most out of each gag, and as a performer, he recognizes that his arched eyebrows are powerful tools of comedy and employs them as such.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
Whimsical and wistful yet infused with a yearning for the stability of place...
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
Filmmaker and actor Elia Suleiman uses his own face and body to express the soul of Palestine in his films, and nowhere more so than in his droll new comedy, It Must Be Heaven.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
The deep blackness of his humour melds with the bleakness of the situation, but this feels less focused here.
High on Films
Shikhar Verma
"It Must Be Heaven" is comic tripe where the jokes are deeply drenched in middle-eastern conflicts and political bureaucracies. It is as much fun decoding them as it is to see them unfold in the realm of the deadpan expressionist at the center.
AwardsWatch
Mina Takla
...despite the pacing and structural flaws, It Must Be Heaven remains very unique, inventive and at times touching.
Film Inquiry
Alistair Ryder
There are amusing comic moments, but it's a shame that they are interlinked with clumsier sequences, that feel like they are playing directly to the audience's political biases with nothing new to say aside from the obvious.
Film Inquiry
Jim Ross
The film balances wit and amusement with a melancholic, maybe even unfulfilled, sense of belonging. The end result maybe isn't heaven, but it certainly soars high above the janky chairs scattered around the Tuileries Garden.
The Playlist
Gregory Ellwood
If you are going to intentionally remind the press of what you are going for then it's already apparent that message isn't completely clear.
Subculture Entertainment
David Griffiths
If you love Marvel movies and big explosions then this isn't the film for you, but if you enjoy a movie that makes you think and will stay with you a long time once the credits role then this is a film that you certainly check out.
