Critic Reviews

Staff (Not Credited)

Culturally rich story is aided throughout by the pic’s all-Israel shoot, nicely highlighting the different worlds these two lovers come from. Read full review

The Telegraph Staff (Not Credited)

It's painfully slow at times, but the performances are decent, especially Hanks who teases the talent yet to properly shine. [08 Feb 2022, p.27]

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Director Moshe Mizrahi (best known for his 1977 Oscar-winning feature, MADAME ROSA) fails to make much of the narrative's potentially fascinating time and place, other than throwing out a couple of token observations about British colonial rule. Read full review

David Fear

Watching [Hanks] in this career footnote now is a little like seeing an unformed lump of sculptor’s clay and knowing that there’s a famous statue just a few well-placed moves away. Read full review

Hal Boedeker

Director Moshe Mizrahi, who did the Academy Award-winning Madame Rosa, cannot decide whether he has a light comedy or a heavy drama, and the film wavers between the two. [26 Nov 1986, p.D5]

Janet Maslin

Tom Hanks is utterly out of place in the Israeli romance Every Time We Say Goodbye...for at least two reasons: because there's something so innately comic about him, even in solemn surroundings, and because he has so much more energy than the film does. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Hanks' aptitude for romantic comedy can do nothing for this corny World War II love story, which has a script so sugary it goes for your fillings. Read full review
