Stephen Holden New York Times 02/06/2003
2/5
For all its provocation, Kedma is an often dull, incoherent film, and its characters remain frustratingly sketchy. Go to Full Review J. Hoberman Village Voice 01/16/2003
Mesmerizingly bad filmmaking. Go to Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid 05/26/2006
The characters prove nothing more than patchy sketches and the drama simply evaporates. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 08/21/2005

Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena 06/07/2004
4/5
Apesar do ritmo irregular e dos personagens mal delineados, oferece uma viso complexa e polmica sobre o longo conflito entre judeus e rabes, o que me leva a recomend-lo. Go to Full Review Leslie Katz culturevulture.net 07/22/2003
The film's "message"...is treated with such a heavy hand, that it'd almost be manipulative - if it weren't ultimately boring. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

11/13/2009 Actually impressive. See more 05/31/2009 De las peores películas que he visto últimamente. Se ha vendido como "gran" cine israelí pero es mala, mala. Un guión pésimo, situaciones que llegan al ridículo, actores que no son actores y muchos de los defectos del cine de Gitai llevados al extremo. See more 05/27/2008 "If you want to survive, you must forget"...this was definitely worth seeing, and I'd especially recommend it to those interested in the politics of identity and the nation-state. For me, this was especially well-timed since I'd just completed a research project on the 1948 partition and war. Also: the dialogue is great. See more 11/03/2007 it's great, i saw it 5 months ago while i was doing a homework about Israel's wall. See more 10/12/2007 quite an amazing film. different than what i expected. See more 09/03/2007 Stupid people at war. Always complaining for justice, but doing the same to their ennemies. See more Read all reviews
