New York Times

Modest to a fault, the introverted family drama Tehilim circles an unsolved mystery and unresolved emotions.

Rated: 2.5/5

Village Voice

Indifferently shot and only competently acted, Tehilim derives its emotional force from the inchoate spiritual torment that the older son suffers.

Despite an interesting premise and a good background (contempo Jerusalem), this is a dull, frustrating family melodrama, the weakest of the 3 Israeli films shown in 2007 Cannes Film Festival; the other two are Jellyfish and The Band's Visit.

Rated: C-

The cast is superb, the direction flawless, and the film unmistakably consequential.

An unfocused drama that, despite a promising premise, never delves into the themes that it only touches upon, ending on a pretty vague note - and it doesn't help at all that the protagonist is such an unlikable teenager that doesn't really inspire our sympathy.

A sleeper, but in the reverse sense. Everything was expected and nothing was delivered. I slept through at least 30 minutes and apparently missed nothing.

Interesting premise, but it moved slowly and never seemed to lead anywhere.

Le film est modeste et son sujet assez prenant. L'absence du pere et sa disparition violente( sans donner la moindre reponse evidemment), la solitude, gerer le quotidien face e la pression familiale et religieuse pour une femme, le lien etrange qui unit les 2 freres cherchant leur pere a leur facon. On est comme dans le precedent film de Nadjari plonge au coeur d'une famille nous attachant ainsi aux personnages. Mais autant Avanim etait un film fort, profond et percutant , autant ici le realisateur reste trop en surface des choses a forces de vouloir les tenir a distance. Maintenant le contexte politique rend de plus en plus difficile cette proximite avec des familles israeliennes sans que rien ne soit dit du drame qui s'y deroule.
