All That's Left of You (Arabic: اللي باقي منك) is a 2025 drama film produced, written and directed by Cherien Dabis, who also stars alongside Saleh Bakri, Mohammad Bakri, Adam Bakri, Maria Zreik, Muhammad Abed Elrahman, Sanad Alkabareti and Salah El Din. It follows a Palestinian family across three generations amidst the genocide in Palestine.

The film had its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival on 25 January 2025.[4] It was selected as the Jordanian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards,[5] making the December shortlist.[6]

Cast

Production

Initially set to commence production in Palestine, the Gaza war forced the crew to evacuate two weeks before the scheduled start date, and production was instead relocated to Cyprus, Greece and Jordan.[7][8] In November 2024, it was announced Dabis, Saleh Bakri, Adam Bakri, Mohammad Bakri, Maria Zreik, and Muhammad Abed Elrahman had joined the cast.[9] In September 2025, following the film's festival run, Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem were announced to have joined the film as executive producers.[10]

Release

It had its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival on 25 January 2025.[11] It also screened in the Official Competition at the 2025 Sydney Film Festival in June, where it won the Audience Award for Best International Feature,[12] and later screened at the 8th Malaysia International Film Festival in the Competition section on 25 July 2025.[13] In August 2025, Watermelon Pictures acquired US distribution rights to the film, co-distributing with Visibility Films.[14]

In the United States, the film will have an Academy Awards-qualifying theatrical run in Los Angeles on 28 November 2025, followed by a limited theatrical release in select cities on 9 January 2026, with nationwide expansions in subsequent weeks.[10]

It is one of three films on Palestinian history to be submitted to the 98th Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film – the others being Palestine 36 and The Voice of Hind Rajab.[15][16][17]

The film will compete in the Awards Buzz – Best International Feature Film section of the 37th Palm Springs International Film Festival on 5 January 2026.[18]

Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of 53 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.2/10.[19] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 78 out of 100, based on 14 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[20] Of the film, M. Sellers Johnson shares that Cherien Dabis "offers questions on the nature of occupation, generational trauma, faithful futures, and the nature of diaspora (and return)."[21]

It won the top prize (the Publieksprijs, or "Public Prize") at the 2025 Leiden International Film Festival in the Netherlands,[22] and was also named best film at the 8th Malaysia International Film Festival (MIFFest).[23]
