Diane Carson, writing for the Alliance of Women Film Journalists, called Baneen Ahmed Nayyef's performance as Lamia "a treasure of expressive joy and heartbreaking sadness, of frustration and determination", while Waheed Thabet Khreibat, as Bibi, gives "a subdued, wonderful performance" and Sajad Mohamad Qasem as Saeed "brings energy and impetuous trouble to the quest", concluding with "The President's Cake offers an astute, poignant story of empathy for humanity caught in the crosshairs".

We'll meet in the theater lobby before the film and enter at 1:55. Running time for the film is just over one hour, so we should be out by 3:30. It's early for dinner, but you can just order chips and dip. If you order dinner, you'll probably have some to take home. Please answer the question about whether you will eat with us.
