David Bax Battleship Pretension Despite the attempts on the part of both the audience and the subjects to clearly define the identities of these three men, what resonates are the constant complications. Jan 5, 2021 Full Review Michael J. Casey Boulder Weekly The movie's most fascinating aspect is its appeal as a piece of playful ethnography. Aug 2, 2019 Full Review Julia Raban The Stranger (Seattle, WA) If HBO's Looking had been set in Tel Aviv instead of San Francisco-and if the gay trio were Palestinian-it might have played like British-born director Jake Witzenfeld's empathetic documentary.

Audience Member An insightful look at the lives of gay Palestinian Israeli Arabs that shows their personal, social and political struggles as gay Palestinians living in Israel. From intercultural relationships to coming out to political activism to thoughts of emigration it's a story that is rarely if ever seen, and should be. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member An amazingly touching and intimate portrayl of friendship and sexuality of a group of Palestinians living under the ever-present context of Israeli rule. This is a story completely worthy of the grace and attention the filmmaker lends, and one that is done justice through excellent storytelling and an endlessly charming cast of subjects. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
