Maktub

This movie is funny, serious, light, feel good. I am so glad we watched it

Very entertaining, touching and well played. Great work!!! Well, I didn't expect anything else from Guy Amir and Hanan Savyon. Simply exceptional!

A surprisingly well-made, feel-good movie with a veritable comedic touch--the humor and wit in the dialogue make one smile broadly.

The idea behind the story is refreshing and the storytelling is made more authentic by its setting which is Jerusalem. The duo of Chuma and Steve are engaging. Their parts are acted just right by Gur Amor and Hansen Savyon who are, incidentally, also the writers.

It's a film that you would like to watch a second or a third time because it's really funny but thoughtful with an unmistakable message of hope.

I love to watch movies, no matter from which country to see how they pass their messages. The technique of story telling is so diverse and it's a pleasure to see a movie like Maktub available to us on streaming. First of all, Israeli life is harsh, but the people and the mentality is amazing. We can see a mix of mafia type good guys, after a life changing experience, become angels. You laugh with the ways they go to achieve their good deeds. The same goes for relationships , men/women, kids parents, that are brought up on this movie. Chuma and Steve are buddies for ages, you can see their are complementary on all the levels, with the smarts from Steve and the heart from Chuma. The initial scene is just full of little pearls - two goons with a great fine cuisine knowledge, really analysing the Restaurant menu .. they are goons not food critic, but that bring the comedy all along the movie. Chuma eating all the time, the whole sefarad Israelli with chilis, falafel and the best a true Marrocan style party for Boris Bar Mitzvah - with donkeys and belly dancers. Trully worth to watch, as I've already done at least 10 times and never gets old or tired to feel good after .

Best israel made movie Totaly recommended for famely
