Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 04/10/2008
2.5/5
Modest to a fault, the introverted family drama Tehilim circles an unsolved mystery and unresolved emotions. Go to Full Review
J. Hoberman Village Voice 04/08/2008
Indifferently shot and only competently acted, Tehilim derives its emotional force from the inchoate spiritual torment that the older son suffers. Go to Full Review
Ray Bennett The Hollywood Reporter 05/22/2007
Narrow focus will limit the film's appeal severely. Go to Full Review
Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 02/13/2008
C-
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. Go to Full Review

10/10
The cast is superb, the direction flawless, and the film unmistakably consequential. Go to Full Review

06/15/2012 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. See more 06/27/2011 vu sur Arte dans la nuit du lundi 27 au mardi 28 juin 2011 de 1h50 à 3h30 ! See more 06/18/2011 A void filled by nothing. See more 11/04/2009 Interesting premise, but it moved slowly and never seemed to lead anywhere. See more 01/18/2009 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. See more 07/06/2008 Normally I don't mind movies without a complete ending. But this one still keeps distance from the audience outside of the country that I just don't understand why that's the entire movie. There are some engaging parts though. See more Read all reviews
