All That’s Left of You, a multi-generational Palestinian epic, is the kind of accomplished, immaculately rendered film that’s indicative of a director who’s learned much and is ready to seize more. Read full review

The New York TimesLisa KennedyJan 8, 2026
In depicting scenes of dispossession and fraught encounters with soldiers, the filmmaker offers a saga of trauma that has antecedents in dramas set during previous mass conflicts like Apartheid as well as in the Jim Crow South. If that strikes you as pointed, it is. Read full review

Original-CinLiam LaceyJan 30, 2026
Though sometimes over-explanatory, the film gains in complexity as it progresses, raising thorny questions about the duty of victims to maintain their humanity. Read full review

Cherien Dabis’ All That’s Left of You considers generational trauma on both an intimate and epic scale. Read full review

The New YorkerJustin ChangJan 16, 2026
Dabis embraces the conventions of melodrama with sombre grace. As a director, she orchestrates scenes of separation, discord, and shattering loss with an emotional restraint that’s equally evident in the way she plays the role of Hanan. Read full review

It’s a moving and intimate narrative about the toll displacement takes on generations of people. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriJan 30, 2025
All That’s Left of You isn’t really looking for empathy. Rather, in its own uneven but artful way, it shows us the alienation that survival sometimes requires. By the end, I was destroyed. Read full review

The GuardianAdrian HortonJan 30, 2025
As the years go by and the trauma festers, the film grows into something thornier, surprising, beautifully textured and deeply moving. Read full review

Washington PostSonia RaoJan 16, 2026
At minimum, “All That’s Left of You” is a thoughtful exploration of how trauma can both fracture and bond a family. But for those who need it, the film serves as an urgent reminder of how ignorance and passivity undermine what it means to be human. Read full review

Little White LiesJannat SulemanFeb 5, 2026
Despite a two and a half hour runtime, All That’s Left Of You feels incredibly compact. There is much owed to Amine Bouhafa (who also scored The Voice of Hind Rajab) and his kaleidoscopic score that prevents us from losing ourselves to a simple sadness. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesTim GriersonJan 9, 2026
Each new segment of All That’s Left of You is its own self-contained drama, but they build on one another, the past’s invisible weight bearing down on children who cannot fully comprehend the sorrow that came before, but have grown up knowing nothing else. Read full review

TheWrapChase HutchinsonJan 30, 2025
It’s a deeply painful, necessary watch that confronts the way cruelty and repression leaves deep, lasting wounds over lifetimes. But some blunt narrative decisions and a rushed conclusion ultimately keep “All That’s Left of You” from greatness. Read full review

Screen DailyAllan HunterJan 30, 2025
Lacking nuance in its early stages, it matures into a more considered, moving tale that effectively blends the personal and the political. Read full review

VarietyTomris LafflyJan 30, 2025
Spiritually guided by Dabis’ personal and familial memories, the narrative film is sometimes deeply stirring, other times clumsily heavy-handed, often hampered by Christopher Aoun’s bland cinematography. Read full review
