Described in the review as born in Nebraska with Palestinian roots; the review notes Tutto quello che resta di te is her third feature film and that it was filmed in Cyprus, Jordan and Greece due to events in Gaza.

The review by JpLoyRow praises Cherien Dabis' Tutto quello che resta di te as a nearly epic family saga spanning 1948–2022 that balances Western cinematic rhythm with Eastern subject matter. Filmed in Cyprus, Jordan and Greece due to events in Gaza, it tackles dispossession, memory and organ donation. The critic highlights strong performances and craft, noting occasional directorial heaviness but calling it among the year's best releases.
