An unusual work that mixes genres to at times awkward but always powerful effect.

With material this powerful, we shouldn't have to continually be puzzling out what's real and what's staged.

Rated: B-

As close as my political beliefs may be to Gitai's and as sympathetic as I am to his analysis, I can't help but mistrust his filmmaking.

Rabin, the Last Day is [Gitai's] most complete work in quite a while. It is not complete in every way, not a work whose depth befits its essence, but still, it is a respectable film.

Cinema Scope

Rabin, the Last Day works as a stunning example of political filmmaking imbued with a sense of formal and conceptual freedom.

Good movie ... men of peace don't live long in the middle east. Israel is no exception.

This overdramatic, bordering-on-hysterical movie is way too long. The director threw in everything but the kitchen sink, which in many ways detracted from the point he was trying to make. In demonizing the right, he is just as guilty as those who demonized the left that led to Rabin's assassination. There are those who think this movie is brilliant. For those of us who think more clearly and rationally, it is sadly disappointing, almost laughable, and a waste of time.
