Ben Kenigsberg New York Times Direct access to Olmert — mostly heard speaking over the phone, although he is eventually shown being interviewed in person after his release — hasn’t led to a coherent thesis. Apr 13, 2023 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Honorable Men: The Rise and Fall of Ehud Olmert is a real life House of Cards, for better or worse. Rated: 3.5/5 May 3, 2023 Full Review Benjamin Franz Film Threat The interstitial news broadcasts, political footage, and phone calls with Olmert while he’s incarcerated have all been woven together in a most fascinating melange.
