So first in general I love Avi neshers works . He has some gems . This is one of them. It's a great film. There's one major issue . Gratuitous nudity . To which there's no need ..... I don't understand why this was added to film. It adds nothing and makes it unable to be watched by kids and religus . This could be shown in school if not for that or to children . Due to that wouldnt.... It's a powerful movie . I don't agree with all the points made but I think Avi is fair and trust to be neutral. Hes done this in the past . Which is rare as most Israeli media is super left wing . He shows the good , bad and ugly . Would give 10/10 if not for unnecessary nudity ....

Very well made Israeli movie with excellent characters,wonderful acting (Joy Reiger is sensational) what I liked most is that it's a true story. The action scenes are very realistic and the human emotional scenes are very touching. The director did a tremendous job. You will love it.

As the title suggests I think this is Nesher's best movie to date and he has some good ones in the past.

A great time to be had watching this film, would recommend it to anyone who's interested.

War always attracts me and the post ww2 middle east is like putting a hand inside a nest of yellow jackets, also when reviewing.....

its 1947-48, a kibbutz that has been established around gaza-strip, maybe further north, is repeatedly under attack from arab neighbours. The kibbutz becomes heavily fortified by military involvement, and its a rag and tag highly sophisticated drama in arabic and jiddisch evolves. At the day that mr ben-gurion declares the israeli state a war breaks out, and its the fatality of that escalation that you will meet when watching ''image of victory''.

Its not a supertechnical production, there are plotholes and minor flaws here and there, some low tech special effects, but there is an eerie athmosphere lingering there , its like the song ''ship to shore'', a bad communication ephistel, a flick inspired by actual events.

The acting is fun, consistent and good, and good comedy twined into the grave serious issues taking place is relieving and precious. But most of all its a drama about love trust and sacrifice. A recmmend from the grumpy old man.

It's an amazon movie, the best of Avi Nesher so far (and he produced many great movies). The story as well as the actors, plot, soundtrack and camera effects - all is just perfect. I don't want to write any spoilers but I really encourage you to see it in the cinema (better than on Netflix)
