This is a brilliant film about the challenges that Israel (the only democracy in the Middle East and the ancestral land of the Jewish people) faces since its (re)birth. The film has an outstanding cast: Ido Tako's performance is absolutely superb, and Efrat Ben Tzur's (who plays Shlomi's mother) is also breathtaking. The director (Dani Rosenberg) succeeds in making a brilliant film that illustrates the reality of many young people in Israel (pre-October you know the number). The film is unpredictable and the director manages to keep the audience in suspense during all the film. Bravo. The music is also gorgeous. A must-see masterpiece. 10/10. Am Israel chai.

A brilliant, funny, sweet, and cool Israeli movie that speaks about the different cultures in Israeli society. The fascinating Haredi world, legacy and culture is marvellously portrayed in this movie, with humor and respect. The music of the film (composed by Frank Ilfman) is absolutely amazing and the cast (Maor Schwietzer, Amit Rahav, Liana Ayoun, Reymonde Amsellem) is truly brilliant and breathtaking. The direction (Erez Tadmor) is perfect, and the script (Hava Divon, Yaki Reisner, Erez Tadmor) is wonderfully well written. This is a movie that will make you laugh, cry, think, learn, and enjoy. A real gem. Do not miss it. Am Israel chai. 10/10.

Coup de chance is another masterpiece by Woody, the master of cinema. The cast (Lou de Laâge, Melvin Poupaud, Niels Schneider, and Valérie Lemercier) is absolutely great, the script (Woody) is brilliant, the cinematography (Vittorio Storaro) is gorgeous, and the direction (Woody) is, as always, impecable. This is a movie about love, betrayal, control, and luck. Amazingly written and beautifully shot. A masterpiece (in French) with a flavour of the great French cinema from last century (Truffaut, Lelouch, Godard), with a bit of Hitchcock (you can actually spot a Hitchcock book lying on a shelf in one scene), and with a wonderful soundtrack (jazz from the 60s: Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island" and Nat Adderley). No explosions, plastic people or a 200MM budget; just absolutely pure excellent cinema. Bravo, Woody. You are the best! 10/10.
