- 85The Film VerdictAdham YoussefThe Film VerdictAdham YoussefThe plot of Everybody Loves Touda is sensually expressed in Erradi’s whirling, energetic performance, and visually told by the brilliant, soft camerawork of Virginie Surdej, expressing the character’s ups and downs.
- 75IndieWireEsther ZuckermanIndieWireEsther ZuckermanIt’s the brilliance with which Erradi performs, especially in the musical sequences, and the touching portrait of a woman pursuing her art despite the world seemingly conspiring against her to do so, that sustain and invigorate the film.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterLovia GyarkyeThe Hollywood ReporterLovia GyarkyeThe most powerful thread in Everybody Loves Touda is how the singer’s attempts to become a sheikha, a traditional performer whose songs are lamentations for the soul, are thwarted by the people around her.
