REVIEW
A movie that touches upon the continuing struggle between Israelis and Palestinians could well serve one side or the other. This one does not: it is a balanced portrayal of conflict at the personal level with no hint of bias. That in itself is quite a trick.
On more than a few occasions things go unsaid or the screen fades to black and we are left to figure it out ourselves. Quite refreshing. The acting throughout is excellent and done in a very convincing manner. In fact the whole film has that ring of truth about it.
