Critic Reviews

Loren King

It is haunting in its literal and symbolic meanings, which is the powerful, lingering effect of Yellow Asphalt. Read full review

Lael Lowenstein

With its remarkably intimate look at Israeli Bedouin culture, a subject heretofore little treated, Danny Verete's Yellow Asphalt is a deeply affecting and brutally uncompromising anthology of three unrelated stories. Read full review

Jack Mathews

More than the sum of its parts. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

These three films form a remarkably cohesive whole, both visually and thematically, through their consistently sensitive and often exciting treatment of an ignored people. Read full review

Megan Turner

So lovingly and perceptively filmed that you can almost taste the desiccated air. Read full review

Michael Atkinson

Dryly cynical; the scenarios pit plump, amoral, industrialized Jews against draconian, wife-beating, tribal Arabs. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Though it's tempting to praise Verete for having the courage to show the worst of both worlds, only a propagandist could get away with being so reductive; an artist should be held to a higher standard. Read full review
