Entre o Céu e a Terra

If there is a film that encompasses the Palestinian struggle in such a poetic sequence of story and images, it would be this. I highly recommend anyone trying to understand the nuanced history of the Palestinian struggle, while also being entertained by the main plot of a couple seeking divorced.

Very interesting story, great choice of music throughout the film, very charismatic cast, loved the director's style of filming and the cinematography.

Once again Najwa Najjar takes her viewers deep into both her homeland and its history, revealing secrets about not only her protagonists but also the creation of the state of Israel. Evocative cinematography and well drawn characters enrich the storytelling as the lead characters embark on a quest through the physical and psychic territory of their parents. At once a story of love lost, found and taken away as well as highlighting the everyday realities of Palestinians seeking simply to live their lives. This movie is definitely a must watch for anyone with interest in great storytelling and/or the Middle East.

A captivating movie (Between Heaven and Earth) with deep insights into the socio political fabric of Palestinian life. A beautiful storyline with the perfect balance of mystery, drama, good conversation, beautiful scenery... Great production & acting. A must- watch movie.

Najjar skillfully portrays love's chaos within a history of personal and political turmoil. It was a very intimate journey with the couple as they tried for divorce, met with both continuous, subtle reminders of the power of love, as well as challenges to reigniting it while coming to terms with themselves. The moments of silence, for me, were the loudest, most intimate and engaging. Brilliant soundtrack too. Would recommend!
