I can think of no more alluring a combination than Patricia Clarkson photographed against the exotic cosmopolitanism of Cairo, a city that I have always dreamt of visiting. Add to that the mysterious, smoldering sex appeal of Alexander Siddig and you have a visual effect that I found impossible to turn away from. Each frame, each subtle nuance, every emotion is exquisitely portrayed in a way that I think would appeal more to women. I have always felt that women are far more attuned to the emotional body than we men are. I stand to be corrected if that is not so. For me personally, the easy paced subtleties of emotion and expression make viewing this film more a meditation than an entertainment. Perhaps, ultimately, that has greater value. Most of my male companions found the film a boring travelogue. Too bad!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie blew me away. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did given the very thin story line. But it just crept up on me,going deeper and deeper. Patricia Clarkson is an amazing actress, her pitch is perfect, and she communicates in the most subtle convincing way. She and her co-star, Alexander Siddig made every moment count. I love the way the actors and director held back, not letting this film turn into just another passionate affair broadcast on the screen. I have never seen anything like this movie. It is a masterpiece.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Romantic in an old fashion way, very sensual without being graphic. The scenes of Cairo were like seeing a travelogue, most enjoyable.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This is a beautifully shot film with a subtle story performed brilliantly by the actors. I will see it a second time to capture some of the nuances I may have missed.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The shots of Cairo were fine, but I found the lead character completely devoid of vitality and thus boring. And incredibly unsophisticated (particularly in view of her pose as a crazy-busy magazine editor! -- from where, I wonder?) I found her to be a poor man's Meryl Streep, and NOT interesting. Her clothes, however, were great. Alexander Siddig was more authentic and likeable in his role.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I had the great fortune of seeing this movie followed by a Q&A session with writer/director Ruba Nadda and lead actress Patricia Clarkson, but I'd fallen in love with the movie even before they came up on stage. This is contemporary romance told in the style of the great romances of the late thirties. There is dynamic tension in the setting ( a noisy, hectic Cairo), the politics (Muslim, Christian, east and west), and in the relationships. Clarkson is radiant, and delivers a subtle, bravura performance. The director allows the camera to linger on her, and Clarkson's face acts with the slightest of movements, a hint of a smile, an ever-so-slightly raised eyebrow, a quiet sigh. Alexander Siddig is seductive (not seducing), a gentleman, not a macho man acting like one. By the time the husband enters the frame, you feel as though he is the interloper breaking up a relationship. I'm glad I saw this before seeing "eat love pray" because I suspect this writer/director/actress combo got it right in a small film, while Hollywood will get it wrong with a big name/big budget/big promotion summer event movie. Go see "Cairo Time" any time.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
