Ty Burr Boston Globe 04/28/2016
3/4
Directed from the center-left with an ear to parties on both sides of the West Bank separation barrier, it's knowledgeable and unhysterical, openhearted without seeming nave. Those on the extremes will probably hate it. Go to Full Review
Randy Cordova Arizona Republic 03/17/2016
3.5/5
The film feels overlong and a bit repetitious, but it's obviously a complex subject that deserves a thought-out treatment. Maybe a miniseries on public television would be the answer. Go to Full Review
Rafer Guzman Newsday 03/10/2016
A coolheaded survey of a fraught topic. The highly intelligent commentators make for fascinating listening. Go to Full Review

Dan Webster Spokesman-Review (Washington) 08/16/2017
Colliding Dreams - for all the fatalistic implications of that title - does offer some sense of hope, a feeling that, ultimately, time may yet soften the hard edge of history. Go to Full Review
Robert Horton HeraldNet (Everett, WA) 03/11/2016
3/4
A calm documentary that seeks to define Zionism, thus presenting a history of the establishment of a Jewish state. Both Israeli and Palestinian voices are heard in this thoughtful effort at moving the conversation forward. Go to Full Review
