Hummus Full Trailer

With the best will in the world , someone whose name escapes me failed to humorously knit together this film !

An abysmal failure on all fronts, standing apart from technical details, lighting, focus, camera angles, acting and sound all aok.

Story wise , very difficult to write good comedy, and or events within the script. A mixed audience in a small theatre with maximum seats of about 55 to 60 ,! That small venue allowed for any groans, sighs or snoring easy to detect . It also allowed for a small group of no more than 7 to 11 audience members occasionally giggling , at about 70 minutes in to this 90 minutes film. Those folk all sat in one or two rows together so easily noticed.. I decided to tough it out to the end , so as to be fair if I wished to review ? As far as i could ascertain, , the problem was the 4 themes which over stretched any possibility of genuine humour ? Actually , now I recall there were 5 strands , all of which needed by films conclusion 7 to 15 minutes before the end, to clash hilariously together, , which they did , albeit not hilariously attempting some sort of vague similarity with straw dogs , and weak attempt at Tarantino (ish) violence .?

Worth a viewing for some, who may get a smidgen of laughs from the story, so do not simply decide due to this review , please make your own minds up, as there are some nuggets of smiles or more if you are in the directors desired frame of mind, humour wise ?

Apart from the 2 actors Keren Mor and her husband in real life Menashe Noi, who are excellent, all the other actors some of them are very familiar with their games like first year acting students. The worst of all is Yaniv Beaton, who plays a gay man in a shrill and overacting performance. The script is not funny at all, stupid dialogues, even if you leave the movie theater in the middle, you won't lose anything. Trying to understand who the producer is that reads such a hollow script and is willing to bet his money on a film that he doubted whether he made the capital invested in it. Beyond shame for the Israeli film industry, where great directors work who have made great films that have won international recognition and awards.

Hummus Full Trailer may be an indie action-comedy out of one of the smaller Middle East countries but it packs a powerful punch that global audiences will love. From Tarantino-paced action sequences featuring Eastwood-inspired, iconic characters to dozens of comedic hits strewn perfectly across Hebrew, Arabic, English, French, and Russian, this film is the ultimate ode to great cinematic experiences of the 20th century. But it's not just nostalgia. Kobrovsky, his creative partner Itay Barkan, and their stellar ensemble of superstar talent deliver a refreshingly new and surprisingly honest portrayal of life in the Middle East. Despite the constant, surface level tensions in both the film and reality, there's an underlying sense of cooperation, understanding, and even community between all the different factions regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, and economic class. This seems truer to my real life experiences on the ground than most mainstream media would depict and I applaud this film for capturing that spirit. After all, at the end of a hard day, we all just want to sit down and eat some hummus in peace.
