Theeb's reviews
Media reviews
New York Times
In Jacir Eid?s extraordinary performance, 'Theeb' exhibits the composure, bravery and cunning of a little savage driven by animal instinct.
Variety
Like all well-done adventure tales, especially those with an intimate human focus and an expansive, epic vision, 'Theeb' works on multiple levels.
The Hollywood Reporter
Though the pint-sized protagonist is never far out of sight, the film?s vision is anything but limited, as various encounters in the desert conjure a vivid picture of a world that has remained unchanged for centuries but that is quickly coming undone.
The A.V. Club
Part of the problem is that 'Theeb', while running only 100 minutes, takes nearly an hour to set up its basic premise.
