Dennis Harvey Variety The outdoor temperatures may be Arctic, but the welcoming indoor temperament as painted by a stranded stranger here is downright toasty. Nov 21, 2023 Full Review Erik Reeds Spectrum Culture It is not only within the borders of Israel and Palestine that Palestinians can experience dehumanization, and this friction becomes the primary narrative focus for the majority of the film. Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Timely, suspenseful and profoundly moving. Nov 12, 2024 Full Review Joshua Polanski Boston Hassle Palestinian cinema is rarely this hopeful. Oct 27, 2024 Full Review Barbara Goslawski POV Magazine While the film is a chronicle of Jabaly’s determination to both grow as an artist and to share stories of life in the Palestinian territory, Life Is Beautiful moves from a diary film to a statement on the idea of home as an unbreakable bond. Jun 26, 2024 Full Review Nikki Baughan Screen International A compelling, often shocking and timely account of the deeply personal impact of global destabilisation.
