Qualcuno con cui correre

This movie's first half is just too funny for me, the second part is also funny but not as much. and no, I am not confusing this movie with another, this review is about Mishehu Larutz Ito.

Very enjoyable especially for locals who recognize every alleyway and every coffee bar.well cast and acted and the young newcomer who plays Tamar definitely has star quality.Not sure how it will go over in the foreign market.But a local hit for sure! also great plot.Story tells of a young teenager who runs away from home,winds up in hostel for homeless kids all hoping to be the next big music discovery. She ends up being exploited by a no-good drug dealer and loses her dog. A boy, Assaf, comes looking for her, the dog leading him through her usual Jerusalem haunts, the pizzeria, the place downtown where she hangs out with other young music hopefuls and so on....Shan't spoil the ending

Truly horrendous the book was bad but this missed every plot point. by: Just Dont



We have to take back the holy land from these infidels by: Cusady Boi

A great movie!!! Truly done wonderfully. I think the director was able to take the most of this story and make it enjoyable, thrilling and surprising to watch... The story itself was very interesting, realistic and painful. The feelings of those who live in the streets, in their own "world of the streets", was build so well in the movie and you could actually feel like you live in this "world".I think the actors were great and helped a lot in creating the atmosphere around this movie- loneliness, fears, troubles and one big beauty in the middle that is demonstrated through music. Music was the theme of this movie and it was remarkable to see how the music lights the darkest corners. I think the movie had a lot to say about falling into the wrong places in life, as drug abuse and so on. It was exciting to see what people would do for each other and how hope must never be lost. I liked the twists in the plot, and especially I enjoyed the way the two plots were told together side by side. Great movie! I recommend.

I was worried that much would be lost in adaptation from the excellent novel. This was not the case; the characters and scenes were as i had visualised them.

The acting was good; i felt a lot of empathy towards the 2 central characters ( 3 if you include the dog ) . There was also a little bit of humour, especially in the portrayal of the 'bad' character.

The plot is not bulletproof and totally realistic but then this is partly a fantasy. Jerusalem serves as a good backdrop for though it is a big city, you are always only away from a strange wadi or uncultivated area that is required for the movie.

The flashbacks were seamlessly handled and easy to comprehend.

There was perhaps a short period in the middle of the film where i felt things were dragging on a bit. By the end though i have to confess i was slightly teary and overcome with emotion.

I hope that people not from the local market can also enjoy this film
