Jordan Hoffman Times of Israel From a purely aesthetic point of view, Israel: A Home Movie is a cinematic essay. Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Stanley Kauffmann The New Republic Some titles embrace us. They seem to have been waiting, affectionately quintessential -- the heart of the matter. Such is Israel: A Home Movie. Oct 9, 2013 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter This haunting cinematic collage puts a human face on the country's strife-wracked history. Oct 9, 2013 Full Review Kam Williams Sly Fox Israel captured through the eyes of ordinary citizens as a vulnerable refuge where tragedy has become the norm, and where peace invariably leads back to war. Rated: 3/4 Jul 22, 2013 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Film-Forward.com Counters myths and official views, [with] the unusually frank look at the changing perceptions of the indigenous Palestinian population, before and after independence. Rated: 6/10 Jul 13, 2013 Full Review Chris Barsanti Film Journal International The chaotic and hopeful history of a young nation is idiosyncratically told through this kaleidoscopic barrage of home-movie footage that ranges from the kitchen to the battlefield.
