Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

Performances are crisp, as is everything else about this vital, economical film, proof that less really can be more. Read full review

Stephen Holden

If the situation has all the ingredients of a shrill, tearful melodrama, the filmmaker, working from a taut screenplay by Avner Bernheimer that doesn't waste a word or a gesture, keeps the emotional lid firmly in place. Read full review

Allison Benedikt

Most of the film's action takes place on the base, where Fox smartly concentrates on how this relationship -- tormented at times, lighthearted at others -- exists in Israel's military bubble. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

The lazy story takes on a passion and urgency that peaks in an emotional finale. Read full review

Frank Scheck

The film ambles along at a relaxed pace, well depicting the uneasy relationships among the soldiers and the mixture of boredom and danger that marks their daily existence. Read full review

Derek Elley

It's a very small pic but engagingly played by a fine cast. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox
