Filmmaker Amber Fares observantly portrays Noam Shuster Eliassi's work with uproarious humor, heartrending moments and bold idealism.

As the volatility of discourse around this issue has increased following the tragic events of Oct. 7 and the horrific Israel-Hamas war, so, too, has the boldness of Shuster-Eliassi and Fares, two serious minds asking difficult questions.

Rated: 3/4

Part of me wishes the first half of the film matched the complexity and craft of the second, but I also think, as is, the film is something of a magic trick.

Alfred Castaneda

Though the documentary’s topic is as compelling and important as ever, it doesn’t do much to advance the concept that even humor or a light-hearted approach can mend the fence between two groups of people with so much historical tension.

Ms. Magazine

The film encapsulates the deep complexities, horrors and challenges of the crisis in the Middle East and the conundrums of peacebuilding facing its many interlocuters without coming across as either naïve or completely hopeless.

She’s a likable lead to follow and her standup is pretty funny making for an enjoyable documentary.
