| Daily Telegraph (UK)Sukhdev SandhuWhat makes the film more than a litany of justified grief is its black humour. Suleiman deploys distinctively photographed tableaux, idiosyncratic characters and a stand-up comic's sense of timing to evoke the absurdity of the modern political situation. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe third installment of Suleiman's Palestinian trilogy, which began with Chronicle of Disappearance and continued with Divine Intervention, is the series' most politically poignant, wryly humorous, and visually precise chapter. |
| ScotsmanAlistair HarknessThe film is constructed with meticulously composed shots that emphasise in subtle ways how life can be confined by political instability, and Suleiman uses black comedy to dissect the absurdities of the situation. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonA touching and insightful black comedy that gracefully spans sixty years. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterInspired by his family history Suleiman covers 60 years of defiance, false hopes, surrender and broken promises. |
| VarietyDerek ElleyAs in "Divine," there's an uneven quality to Suleiman's often surreal ideas, but in general there are way more hits than misses this time round, some of them laugh-out-loud. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohFamily saga set against the backdrop of Israeli occupation has its moments, but suffers from a certain monotony in its direction. |
| Boxoffice MagazineMark KeizerBlend of sardonic humor and bitter poetry. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoDon't expect guffaw-inducing comedy, but rather deadpan humor in the style of Buster Keaton and Jacques Tati. |
| House Next DoorAndrew SchenkerThe Time That Remains, Elia Suleiman's six decade-spanning speculative remembrance, brings a bleakly comic sensibility -- as well as an insider's perspective -- to 60 turbulent years of Israeli-Palestinian conflict. |
