Heart-rending. A nuanced film about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
I don't pretend to know a lot about this conflict, but I felt this film had much to say. The characters and the inner conflicts they feel are very well brought out.
There is a lot of strength and feeling in this movie. Neither side is presented as being perfect and having all the 'right' solutions.
The film is slow moving and very thoughtful and I appreciate that when I compare it to the histrionics in most films today. There is also a complexity in the characters and story. The scenes shown of Israel and the Palestinian camps, the check-points, the wall.. are most informative.
