So deep , touching and simple at the same time, fully engaged from the 1st scene till the last one
Must watch on big screen
I heard heard good things about this film, but having a quick peek on IMDB to read the first user review giving it 1/10, I had my reservations.
These were quickly dispelled as I felt myself being taken into the life of Mustufa and his family (Mustufa is brilliantly acted by Ali Suliman)
The movie has wonderful cinematography, showing the harsh yet warm scenery beautifully, with tender music accompanying the scenes to pull heart stings when required, but not to over sensationalise it.
As someone with no skin in the game for either side, I thought it was an extremely fair and balanced portrayal of the struggles of Palestinian families living in and around the West Bank and travelling through checkpoints daily.
Whatever you think of the situation, I would look at this film with open eyes, and you will be pleasantly surprised.
After the film finished, I checked IMDB to see who had directed it, and was more than surprized to find it was also a feature film directorial debut from the writer Ameen Nayfeh.
Looking forward to more of her films!

I didn't see the movie, but hearing the plot, resembled me a lot the ideas of Smuggling Hendrix: the border, the movement freedom across it, the help from a smuggler. That was a kind of comedy set in Cyprus, this in Palestine, but the original idea is in the former, and it also depicts a region with less known border problems, still present. I will try to watch also this movie as well to understand better if the rest of the plot has other (original) merits. Smuggling Hendrix is not a pretentious movie, but it treats the same yproblem with ironic and delicate approach. Was this noted by anyone, or does this movie give credits to the earlier one?
I watched this movie with my friend because we were interested in seeing how the director portrays the life of Palestinians.
It was a nice movie with a good soundtrack and perfect cinematography, however, I think the movie could have had a better story and shown more things about everyday life in occupied Palestine
I expected it to have a more in-depth story with more character dynamics.
To be fair, the dialogue was pretty natural and it actually felt like I was watching people with actual lives and families so overall pretty solid acting.
Maybe there should be some sort of spin off that focuses even more on the life of Mustafa.

There are other good Palestinian movies that tackle the Palestinian question and its impact on the everyday life of people in the occupied territories. Examples of this are: Omar, Salt in This Sea, Tel Aviv on Fire and Pomegranates and Myrrh.
What makes 200 Meters stand out is the ironic realization, visually rendered, that only 200 meters separate husband from his wife and kids. But in order for him to be with them, he has to cross the border to be in Israel. But to do so, he has to have a permit. This is a reality which Mustafa accepts, if grudgingly.
The road trip that ensues for Mustafa and several others like him in the West Bank, who need to cross the border illegally, is the focus of the movie. This is where the drama comes in and the tension builds up.
Ali Suliman anchors the film and he portrays his role as the desperate father superbly. There is a big surprise at the end, and the viewer has to judge what to make of it. But I think the point of the writer/filmmaker is to show that even people with sympathies for Israel want to learn more about the Palestinian narrative as an impartial observer (and perhaps offer a solution) as it affects the daily life of people living beyond the wall.
Watch this film not only to be entertained, which it does, but to be reminded that the Palestinian problem begs for a fair solution.
