Yomeddine Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Noëlle D. Lilley
Yomeddine surpasses its predictability to become a heartfelt film that hits home.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The drama plays out as a comical and quirky character-study road film, that might be slight but is watchable despite all its gooey sentimentality.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
I love this movie... Beautiful, beautiful film.
AV Club
Roxana Hadadi
Yomeddine is carried along by strong performances from its central pair of actors, whose affection for each other permeates throughout a narrative of both tragedy and triumph.
Big Apple Reviews
Harvey S. Karten
If this is not the year's best movie, the unorthodox road trip in the Egyptian desert by two people shunned by society makes it the most moving.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
Road trips, of course, always contain a fair number of familiar stopping points and sign posts and this is no different ... But Shawky allows his characters to sit firmly in the driving seat
Film Threat
Hanna B
Yomeddine is actually a really fun and entertaining road-trip movie akin to The Kid, or maybe closer to something like Nebraska, as it is somehow part-comedy, filled with numerous humorous sequences...
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
As Gamal, himself raised in a leper colony, knowingly navigates the uncomfortable glares he encounters along the way, "Yomeddine" (Arabic for "judgment day") takes an affecting path toward belonging and acceptance.
New York Times
Teo Bugbee
It's the weathered Gamal who walks away with the movie, his insouciance and soulfulness immediately registering as beauty.

Louis Proyect
Pay no attention to the "rottens". This is a film that is humanitarian in a way that is utterly absent in almost every Hollywood film. As a first-time effort, the director has shown great talent and a big heart.

Kent Turner
The movie proves the adage that success is 90 percent casting.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
Feels more like a game of cards with a stacked deck than a story that demanded to be told.
Slant Magazine
Sam C. Mac
The way everything just "works out" in the end for the characters on the strength of just their pluck and perseverance makes the film secretly more conservative than it thinks it is.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
The movie lands on the tantalizing suggestion that while being an outcast can lead to anger and frustration, those same emotions can also be a source of pride.
The Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
While it's a novelty to see a film with a protagonist played by a non-professional actor who actually still lives in a leper colony, this isn't enough to make this tonally wobbly road movie feel like it can live up to the expectations...
Variety
Jay Weissberg
A sweet, solid first feature marbled with genuinely touching moments that make up for times when the siren call of sentimentality becomes a little too loud.
