The Yacoubian Building Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Lael Loewenstein
At more than 2 1/2 hours, The Yacoubian Building is nothing if not long. But it's a window into a culture that few of us get to see.
Boston Globe
Janice Page
Rich and imposing.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
A grand and soapy experience set in the fading glory of apartments meant for a better time and place.
Reel.com
Timothy Knight
The Yacoubian Building is a flawed, yet ultimately illuminating film worth seeing.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's a bold film for an Arabic country.
Variety
Deborah Young
The Yacoubian Building distinguishes itself both as the most expensive Egyptian film ever made and, despite its nearly three-hour running time, one of the most watchable.
World Socialist Web Site
David Walsh
Rather flamboyant, a bit crude, not without its own stereotypes and sentimentality, Hamed's film nevertheless demonstrates some courage and insight.
Cinematical
Karina Longworth
[A] swoony romantic sheen...threatens to downgrade the endeavor from ethnographic document to lifestyle porn with a heavily moralistic edge.
L.A. Weekly
Tom Charity
This sweeping melodrama is nothing less than an Egyptian state-of-the-nation address.
Premiere Magazine
Aaron Hillis
A revelatory slice of secular life in downtown, modern-day Cairo... like an Egyptian Tales From the City, soapy with communal taboos in each of its entwined scenarios... enlightening and articulate...
