The Reports on Sarah and Saleem

IMHO a great film, very high quality cinema.There could be absolutely nothing new in a love affair between married people (and with children) but the political environment and the deployment of the affair make it breathtaking and intense. Great characters, great women's scenes, great shots outdoor in Jerusalem. For me this is a must see.

This is a very slow moving film that could have been shortened significantly and lost nothing by so doing. It follows the paths of Sarah and Saleem, people on different sides of a cultural and political divide, who have an affair and the consequences that follow. It's not well edited and sometimes the scenes offer little in the way of continuity. The ending is a bit silly and the time wasted in other scenes could have been used to figure out and present a better ending.

For anyone familiar with the Middle East and/or with literary exposure to ill-fated lovers, there is absolutely nothing new in this film of an illicit affair between a Palestinian married man and an Israeli married woman. However, the story is entertaining and gripping, the cinematography excellent and the ideology evenhandedly absent. Some contrivance (even though it claims to be based on a true story), but no exaggeration or gore. Just plain movie pleasure. Highly recommend it.

... this is a terrific-little-film... well-done-real-world Israeli-Palestinian-love-triangle... outstanding-acting... don't-miss-it.

Outstanding depiction of the flaws of human justice and the power of consciousness. 5 Stars! Superbly acted!
