A Nazareth man struggling to support his pregnant wife and sick father comes up with a risky new business by selling bottles of holy air.

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.

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.

Substream Magazine

Holy Air seems to argue against its own existence by positing that we become completely disillusioned by proselytizing.

Rated: 2.5/5

Holy Air is an engaging and charming comedy with dramatic overtones and it isn't quite like anything you've seen before.

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

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.
