      Matt Noller Slant Magazine Isn't it time to accept that narrative film may not be the best way to deal with complicated socio-political issues like the Israel-Palestine conflict? Rated: 2/4 Sep 13, 2008 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post The result is a hodgepodge of plots and styles, a fault compounded by stiff acting and, except for a few scenes, wooden direction. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 12, 2008 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times The message may be clear -- suppress the past at your peril -- but the execution is a mess. Rated: 2/5 Sep 12, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com While the subject of this Israeli feature is riveting and the intention honorable, the narrative strategy and technical execution leave much to be desired. Rated: C+ Jul 3, 2011 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Film-Forward.com Builds on real macabre coincidences to pile on symbolism higher and higher in time-tripping phantasmagoria of flashbacks, nightmares,fantasy and occasional credibility. Rated: 3/10 Nov 1, 2008 Full Review Sara Maria Vizcarrondo Boxoffice Magazine The film's laudable attempts to encompass the far-reaching quagmire of Jewish tribal identity, politics and psychology could have a profound effect on the audiences who do find it. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 12, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
