Reception
Vassilis Economou of  wrote, "Without disclosing his references, ranging from Sartre’s existentialism to Godard’s aesthetics and Warhol’s pop culture, Beloufa mocks the demureness of Western society, criticises its preposterous fears and entombs its endangered, dying ideologies."

Kevin Ritchie of the Now wrote that "despite enjoyable visual delights, Occidental doesn’t quite transcend its metaphorical echo chamber."

Stephen Dalton of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that while the film is "visually and sonically striking", it "never quite delivers the political or emotional payoff seemingly promised by its fraught dramatic buildup."
