Jay Weissberg Variety 07/07/2010
An energetic, nicely balanced docu containing all the necessary elements for sports reportage with the added advantage of meatier issues attached. Go to Full Review Nick Schager L.A. Weekly 06/07/2010
A cautionary rejoinder to typical sports-movie uplift, elucidating how athletics remain a dangerously precarious foundation upon which to construct lasting peace. Go to Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 05/27/2010
3/5
The soccer footage, although not the centerpiece one might expect, provides a vivid sense of the game's ardent, sometimes inflammatory fans and its significant place within the Israeli zeitgeist. Go to Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews 08/25/2010

05/21/2010 Excellent human element to the film - an examination of personalities in a volatile region during a volatile time - if not too deeply political (as strange as it may seem - it doesn't delve TOO DEEPLY into the Israeli / Arab politics, though it is always there as the elephant in the room) it's a good watch and shows the passion of sports and politics intersecting.
