Luxor Reviews
The main attractions here are the settings and Riseborough’s delicately drawn but intensely focused interpretation of an enigmatic character who, played by a lesser actor, would have seemed like little more than a cipher.
The reunion story set in the ancient Egyptian city is promising, alas Andrea Riseborough's immense talent is pretty much wasted in this meandering and tedious movie.
Luxors thoughtful tone and leisurely pace wont be for everyone, but London-born filmmaker Durra has crafted a character study that rewards those who pay attention.
Andrea Riseborough gives a luminescent performance in Zeina Durra's contemplative, hypnotic Luxor...
The result is a closely observed drama that lingers like a Virginia Woolf novel, poignant and driven by internal, rather than external, action.
Luxor is a contemplative character study: a subtle, human exploration of the wounds inflicted by military conflict, and the tentative efforts to heal them.
A movie that captures the gut-ache of ruminating on lost love, and the pain of an expiration date hanging over a brief encounter that maybe doesn't have to end.
An apparently slight, but deeply rewarding film, Luxor reveals its purpose slowly, in fragments of growing significance.
Luxor offers a strange marriage of travelogue, post-traumatic stress disorder, spirituality and something like romance.
A truly beautiful film, with stunning shots of the city and desert, and a journey of one woman's past trauma to future happiness.
The dialogue is thin and the action is patchy, but Durra films Hana's travels-and the places that she visits-with an ardent attention that fuses emotional life with aesthetic and intellectual exploration.
It contemplates the sand and the sadness, instead of really digging. [Full Review in Spanish]
With very little spoken by Riseborough, she still manages to convey every deep feeling she has, dark or otherwise.
"A low-key film I dearly admired for its ability to have so much breath and to say so much by saying so little."
...the need keeps building for us to know more and to stick it out to the end. I did and I'm glad I did...
It's a very sparse, slow, and meditative film, but from an acting standpoint you're not going to see a better female performance all year.
Nabbing Andrea Riseborough for her sympathetic lead, it's a subtle rumination on the depleting forces of trauma, pondered glibly through a brief respite in a city wherein the troubled intrigue of ghosts from an ancient culture are forever nigh.
Sometimes a little meandering, this lovely (visually and otherwise) tale works as a moment of meditative stillness, a passing shelter against global chaos-chaos that can be ignored or denied for a time, yet which never goes away.
London-born Arab writer-director Zeina Durra's Luxor is sort of a meditative throwback to the '60s era of art-house cinema when movies were allowed to not always fill in the plot blanks for audiences.
This is one of those movies that gives the notion of an "arthouse" film a bad name.
