Movie Reviews

Film Threat - 9/10 by Bradley GibsonThe film is a rare look at Egypt during a time of dramatic change.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Craig D. LindseyTickling Giants comes off as both a fact-based look at fighting fire with funny and a prescient cautionary tale.
Laramie Movie Scope - 8/10 by Robert RotenThis bittersweet documentary about a comedian deemed enemy of the state is both haunting and instructive about rebellions, authoritarian governments and satirical humor.
The Playlist - 8/10 by Michael GarmonswayThe toughest thing about watching ‘Giants’ is the fear of inevitable, the fear that all of this could easily come crashing down, with Youssef displaying a thorough lack of respect for a government he’s long lost faith in, via a program that will certainly violate the country’s censorship laws.
Screen International - 8/10 by David D'ArcyTickling Giants shows how a window of freedom and hope can unleash surges of creativity, like the improbable overnight success of a surgeon satirist.
New York Times - 8/10 by Ken JaworowskiThere’s a lot to laugh at, and to learn from, in Tickling Giants, a documentary that starts off by telling the story of one man and ends up speaking volumes about satire, freedom of expression and political pressure.
Variety - 8/10 by Owen GleibermanTickling Giants is a terrific movie that leaves you cherishing (a little more) the freedom we have, and holding in contempt (a little more) those who would compromise it. Mostly, the movie makes you understand how every society — and ours more than ever — needs people like Bassem Youssef to demonstrate that laughter will always be one of the essential ways to keep power in check.
Total Film - 8/10 by Kate StablesBoth smart political primer and tense cautionary tale.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Sandie Angulo ChenPowerful docu follows story of "Jon Stewart of Egypt."
CineVue - 8/10 by John BleasdaleYoussef himself with his crooked smile and exuberant enthusiasm comes across as someone who in a normal state of affairs would be just another amiably slick joker. But in this context he takes on the bravery and the bearing of a hero.
