	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"Whether or not the exercise succeeds essentially boils down to how interesting audiences find 18-year-old Louise (...) It lacks urgency, both in the setup and even later"
		Nicolas Rapold The New York Times	"If 'Taj Mahal' presents a fresh blend of drama and thriller, it also underlines Mr. Saada as a filmmaker who is drawing with equal vigor from cinema and reality alike."
		Lisa Nesselson Screendaily	"Despite a professional level of attention to sound and visuals, the result is borderline inert."
		Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"Despite a few light scares there isn’t much here worth biting your nails over (...) Saada has some clever ways of revealing information while never leaving Louise’s side"
		Gary Garrison IndieWire	"Saada’s saving grace may be his earnestness, which helps to deflate some of the sour taste of what might be perceived as cultural ignorance."
