Filmmaker Danae Elon returns to Jerusalem after living abroad for several years.

Frank Scheck

The Hollywood Reporter

A cross between home movie and documentary essay, P.S. Jerusalem emerges as a rough-hewn but moving effort that, thanks to the ever-volatile situation in the Middle East, proves unfortunately timely.

New York Times

"P.S. Jerusalem" reflects not only on lost possibilities for Israel but also on lost friendships.

Village Voice

P.S. Jerusalem is as modest as a home movie but profoundly captures the conflict between individual conscience and national identity.

One Room With A View

P.S. Jerusalem, narrated intermittently by its director-cinematographer, is a fascinating, frustrating personal study of dysphoria and turmoil.

Rated: 4/5

Counterpunch.org

A documentary about the clash between romantic illusions in the Zionist dream of the early 50s and the ugly reality of today's Israel embodied in a family drama. Raw and realistic.

FF2 Media

For all her politically correct talk about the occupation, apartheid, and Palestinian rights, Elon humanistically shows that a woman's separate peace can only go so far.

Rated: 7/10
