REVIEW
We get to experience the on-going struggle between the
Israelis and Palestinians seen this time from the perspective of someone who lives
and works with both factions. The contrast between the two sides once more is
brought to light: on one hand poverty, endless misery, deprivation,
hopelessness; the exact opposite on the other. It’s not pretty but it is
realistic with great attention to detail.
A hand-held camera has been used extensively instead of the
more professional-looking steady shots. I’m not a big fan of these wiggly jerky
shots as it looks like something an amateur would produce.
One more thing: the slow pace results in a movie that seems
longer than the 1 hour and 45 minutes actual run time.
