Suspenseful & Informative Tale

This film was so much fun! Recommend to watch around the globe.

Drama as intense as a thriller

IMHO a great film, very high quality cinema.There could be absolutely nothing new in a love affair between married people (and with children) but the political environment and the deployment of the affair make it breathtaking and intense. Great characters, great women's scenes, great shots outdoor in Jerusalem. For me this is a must see.

intense!

Excellent movie! Very strong cast. Powerful example of how the personal can easily become political in such a ruthless environment. Will be thinking about the story for a long time. Go see it, time we'll spent! Bravo to the writer and director!!

Slow moving but entertaining

This is a very slow moving film that could have been shortened significantly and lost nothing by so doing. It follows the paths of Sarah and Saleem, people on different sides of a cultural and political divide, who have an affair and the consequences that follow. It's not well edited and sometimes the scenes offer little in the way of continuity. The ending is a bit silly and the time wasted in other scenes could have been used to figure out and present a better ending.

Anti Israeli Jews theme throughout

All the Jews are wicked and barbaric and all the Palestinians are noble. Antisemitic movie posing as deep.

Some themes were thought provoking. The Palestinians always took the high road and the Israeli Jews were immoral, evil or corrupt. Hardly anything in between.
