Phil Hall

Among the finest films made in the Middle East. This small, subtle gem offers a vivid portrait of life in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, presenting its message with an intelligence and vibrancy that celebrates the human spirit in an environment where humanity is routinely crushed and assaulted.

Ella Taylor

The movie's wistful tone leavened with breaks into farce recalls Elia Suleiman's superbly controlled "Chronicle of a Disappearance." Read full review

Deborah Young

Though shot from the Palestinian P.O.V., the Dutch/Palestinian Film Foundation co-production is remarkably balanced, offering a convinced message of hope for the future. Read full review

Janice Page

An invitation to see something a little less pretty, and potentially more enduring. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

Manohla Dargis

The film effectively conveys the fears and frustrations of Palestinians struggling in a country that treats them as the enemy. Read full review

Frank Scheck

While the film, directed by Hany Abu-Assad, provides a vivid portrait of the landscape, its dramatic aspects are less impressive, with the contrived plot and paper-thin characterizations basically serving to provide a framework for its impressionistic portrait. Read full review
