Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter The humor in Holy Air is inseparable from its poignancy, and every element of the film expresses that interconnection, from the performances to the spirited, melancholy-laced score by Habib Shehadeh Hanna. Dec 12, 2017 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Holy Air provides a vivid snapshot of modern life in an ancient city. Dec 12, 2017 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times As a wry commentary on religious tourism, and the limited avenues of prosperity for occupied, idealistic Arabs, "Holy Air" is tartly effective. Nov 16, 2017 Full Review Leigh Monson Substream Magazine Holy Air seems to argue against its own existence by positing that we become completely disillusioned by proselytizing. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 2, 2020 Full Review Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post Holy Air is an engaging and charming comedy with dramatic overtones and it isn't quite like anything you've seen before. Oct 5, 2018 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Sunday Age A sly satire of consumerism and faith - which in this case has a major overlap - that isn't afraid of melancholic contemplation and complication Rated: 4/5 Mar 19, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Not laugh out loud funny, but definitely an interesting watch! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member ??? ????? ????? ?? ??? ??? ????? ??? ?? ?? ???? ??? ?? ????. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A thoroughtly engaging and thought-provoking study of decent Christian Arabs trying to live, love and work under Israeli occupation.. Despite many comedic elements, it was heart-wrenching. The film showed an aspect of life usually hidden from American audiences and one that should be better known. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
