j F 10/20/2023 It was very slow, challenging. Unless I kept my patience and observed the small signs of humor, it got boring. See more John A 10/17/2023 Loved the dark humour, and (as a drummer) loved the soundtrack too. See more dave s 02/22/2022 Divine Intervention is a sporadically interesting but ultimately disappointing comment on day-to-day Palestinian/Israeli relations. Consisting of a number of brief vignettes, the majority shot with a stationary camera, emotionless and often unblinking characters go about their daily business with a humor as dry as the arid environment. Some of the humor might illicit a slight chuckle, but most of it results in nothing more than a furrowed brow and confusion. A Palestinian woman walks through an Israeli checkpoint, her overwhelming beauty causing the guard tower to collapse. A balloon with the image of Yasser Arafat on it causes confusion among Israeli soldiers. A mother and son stare at a pressure cooker, the symbolism as subtle as a face slap. It all feels superficially deep, if that makes any sense. Just because something is surreal doesn't make it art. See more david k 10/31/2021 This film simply never hung together. Between scenes that made sense were numerous scenes that made no sense whatsoever. Like the last scene in the film, 2 people watching a pressure cooker. Ridiculous. Of course one can read a message into it - Israel and Palestine getting ready to explode? - but our message is guesswork. The film itself does not hang together. See more 06/29/2013 A silent comedy whose intention to parody the tension that of Israeli-Palestinian neighbours is more likely to make the general audience scratch their heads, what with some of the borrowed ideas from The Matrix.
