Featured reviews
I think this film is a brief summary of the current Israeli-Palestinian relationship. I liked the choice of Palestinian actors.n N matter how much he is shown as a peaceful on both sides, there is a sense of hatred. Mona's" the world left you on your own " is a brief summary of film and finally, the dominant yellow light color was very disturbing.
As someone with a Masters in International Relations, I just loved this film. It really humanized the difficult process of international diplomacy. Although it doesn't get into the nuts and bolts of diplomatic deal making, I think it's quite instructive of the power of getting opposing sides to the table for talks. Of course, we now know the Oslo Accords ultimately failed, but the process for which they came about remains truly inspirational.
Also, Ruth Wilson was wonderful and delivered a quietly powerful performance.
Tempted to give this film 10/10 to balance out the politically motivated ratings. But it's really an 8 for me.
P.s. Teachers in university IR courses or high school social studies classes, this would be a great film to watch and discuss during units on international diplomacy.

The film, which consists of a painful story, is successfully reflected to the audience with the outstanding performances of the actors. A very impressive movie that makes you question your humanity. You should definitely watch.
Finally one movie is made that brings forth to the world the life and work of Diplomats, Foreign Service Officers and showcases how important foreign policy and diplomacy is.
If you watch it without any biases and treat it in a value-neutrally, without taking sides, there are a lot of lessons for humanity in this movie, and it's full of entertainment as well, if you enjoy the story.
It will show and teach you, how important it is for humanity to understand the differences between different communities and factions of our world, to acknowledge it, to find a common ground and to work towards a solution - together and how challenging it can be to do so, to get the opposite sides to talk of the common issue of interest with stark differences and disagreements to the table, and to find a solution despite of that. How it can change the course of history.
I am tempted to give it 10/10, to balance the politically biased ratings, but I'm giving 9, in hope to see more and better movies like this in future.

If only people can sit down and talk. They didn't solve all, or even most of the issues, they didn't make years of hatred and violence disappear, but they made more progress that 40 years of official negotiations. Two people took a chance, then two more and just like that 10 people managed, at least for a little while, to stop a war.
It's not a great movie, the writing leaves a lot to be desired, but the acting is solid and it gets the job done. My main complaint is with the cinematography. Some parts look good, some have a terrible yellow filter over them and then a few scenes are straight up dipped into mustard.

- GoofsBorregaard Manor, where the majority of the action takes place, is a stately manor by Norwegian standards. However, it is nowhere near as grandiose as the building depicted in the movie.
